Ingredients

Olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped

1 stick celery, finely chopped

3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

1 pack SuperValu Signature Tastes streaky bacon

2 sprigs of fresh rosemary

500g minced beef

200ml red wine

1 jar SuperValu Signature Tastes sundried tomato, garlic & basil pasta sauce

400g SuperValu Signature Tastes linguine

Sea salt & ground black pepper

1 SuperValu ciabatta loaf, cut down the middle then sliced into 3 to make 6 pieces

50g butter

Flat leaf parsley, finely chopped

Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil

Extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Heat a splash of oil in a large pan set over medium heat. Add the bacon lardons and fry for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy. Then add the onion, carrot, and celery, and cook for 10 minutes until the vegetables have completely softened. Add the garlic and rosemary and cook for a few more minutes.
Add the minced beef and season well with salt and pepper, then break the mince apart with the back of a spoon. Cook for 5 minutes until lightly browned, then pour in the red wine and allow it to reduce by half.
Add the jar of SuperValu sauce to the pan. Fill the jar with water, replace the lid, shake well, and pour the water into the pan. Add the beef stock cube, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let everything cook slowly for about 30 minutes.
About 10 minutes before the bolognese is ready, cook the linguine in boiling salted water according to the packet instructions.
Heat a griddle pan and toast the sourdough until nicely charred. Drizzle with olive oil and rub a garlic clove over the bread for flavor. Spread the butter over the toast, sprinkle with sea salt and chopped parsley, then grate some parmesan on top. Set aside.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it, reserving a mugful of the cooking water. Add the pasta to the pan with the bolognese and toss to coat the pasta in the sauce, using a splash of the reserved water to loosen the sauce if needed.
Divide the pasta between bowls and serve with a generous grating of parmesan cheese and a few basil leaves. Serve the garlic bread on the side.
