‘Spag Bol’ is omnipresent and it’s one of the greatest comfort foods known to mankind. It’s a student staple and a default fall back for millions of people who have just trudged home from a hard day sitting at an office desk wondering where their life went wrong ;0)

This recipe is not the classic Bolognese, this is my adaption of it and has the addition of anchovies and a full bulb of garlic. I love pasta, but this is a heavy dish so I’ve used Spaghettini which is the thinnest of the ‘long’ pastas – I have also gone a bit over board with the meat sauce but that’s just how I roll baby!
