Solid recipe, the Worcestershire sauce is a nice touch. I think adding a bit of parmesan to the sauce helps give it a bit more depth.
Cheers pal, I agree with the parmesan – adds lovely flavour to compliment the bolognese. I don’t eat a lot of cheese and only have it in moderation, but when I do, I really enjoy it.
