Bolognaise with Pasta and Vegetables- a Twist on an Old Classic


This is not the same recipe as my, Spaghetti Bolognaise page, but an adapted one that I made today, it was so delicious, that I decided to share it with you and I'm sure mother would have loved it too. I have used tagliatelle instead of spaghetti, added vegetables and herbs, also some spices, red wine, and sun dried tomatoes, plus a few other ingredients, the end result was great,
