Serves:
2

Freeze?  Microwave?:
You can freeze this, Maybe about 3 months (because it has meat in it).  I wouldn't try microwaving it to cook it... since it needs frying.... You could microwave it to reheat it.

Ingredients:

1/2 medium Onion
1 Clove Garlic
Fresh Herbs (To taste - I like Basil, Oregano, Rosemary, Chives, Thyme and Parsley)
2 Mushrooms (Optional)
Salt and Pepper to taste
200g Beef mince (or so)
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 small tin (or sachet) of tomato paste

Preparation time:
I like to simmer my pasta sauce for a good hour or two before serving.

Method:

1).  Put a saucepan on the heat, and add the mince (no oil).  Fry until the mince has browned.  Drain this well to remove excess fats.  Finely chop the onion, mushrooms and garlic, add them (and the mince) back to the pan and fry until the Onion and Garlic are cooked.

2).  Add the chopped herbs, and tomatoes.  Add Tomato paste to taste (I only like about 2 tablespoons at most).  Simmer this gently for as long as you can.  About 1-2 hours is fantastic!.

3).  Either serve this poured over pasta, or mix the pasta through then serve.
