Method

Heat the oil and brown the mince over a gentle heat, stirring to stop it from sticking.
Add the onion to the mince and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients, bring the sauce to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes.
Add pepper to taste.
Before the Bolognese is finished cooking, allow around 10-15 mins to cook your wholemeal pasta.
Serve with the garlic bread.
For dessert, have half of the fruit salad mixture and keep the other half to use another day.
