One of my specialty, well not really but just something I think everyone should know how to cook at least, is the Spaghetti Bolognese. Something simple and easy, cooking time around 20mins, and you can't go wrong with Italian food. I cooked it up last night served with Garlic herbs turkish bread, bellisimo!
Spaghetti Bolognese

3 cloves chopped Garlic, 5 or 6 leaves chopped Basil. Fry them away in hot olived oil hot pan till garlic started to turn golden brown.

Put in the beef mince, toss them away and break up the lumps.

Add some oregano and thymes into the mince and I like it a bit spicy, so I added some chilli flake to give it a kick. There might have some juice from the mince while cooking, so make sure the mince is well cooked till all the juice reduced and dry.

Once the sauce reduced, pour in a big jug of good quality Tomato sauce. Normally I will pour some water into the jug, give it a good stir and get all the sauce out so that way we can prolong the juice reducing period to have a very thick bolognese with tender juice mince. (p/s: excuse me for the greasy stove and tomato sauce splatted everywhere on the tiles.)
To go with the spaghetti, get some Turkish Bread, slice them in half, chopped some garlic and spread all over together with Oreganos and Thymes. Drizzle olive oil on top and put it into a preheated 180C oven, and keep an eye of it. It is ready once the top crust turns brown.

Yuummm... Normally when you cook Spaghetti Bolognese, there's always more bolognese that you can handle for one night, so I suggest you cook more Pasta as well, so you can keep some for tomorrow lunch or dinner.
is easy! no skill needed... i am sure everyone can do it :)
