Steps:

• Roughly chop, then whizz the veggies in a food processor until finely chopped.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan and fry the veggies for about 8 minutes until soft. Stir in the lentils, tomatoes, stock, oregano and cinnamon. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Season then simmer for a further 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions and garlic until onions are tender. Stir in red bell pepper and saute 2 minutes.
• Place ground beef in the skillet and cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Stir in beef broth, diced tomatoes, wine and tomato paste. Bring to a boil and add celery, bay leaves and Italian seasoning.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until sauce thickens.

Steps:

• Over a moderate heat, soften onions and celery, add garlic and bacon and fry until cooked.
• Add mince, this can either be done in batches or else all at the same time, depending on the size of your pan. Let cook through for a few mins, drain the fat if needed carefully, there can be quite a lot depending on what kind of mince you are using.
• Stir in tomato puree, let cook for a minute and then add the tinned tomatoes. I use 2 tins and some water if you like a thinner sauce. Season lightly and let simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add the herbs and sugar, these can be added according to taste. Let simmer for another 10 mins and adjust seasoning. Add mushrooms near the end of cooking, giving them a chance to soften but still keep their shape.
• Serve with spaghetti straight away.
