  1. Video tutorial: Preparing chillies

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a pan, then add the onion, garlic, celery and chilli. Cook gently for 5-10 mins until soft.
  2. Up the heat and throw in your beef mince. Cook until just coloured, then add the Worcestershire sauce, red wine or stock and tinned tomatoes. Slowly cook the bolognese for 30 mins-1 hr - depending how much time you have, but longer will taste better.
  3. Boil some water, add in your pasta and cook according to pack instructions. Drain, then throw the pasta into the pan with the sauce and mix it all together. Dish up and serve with lashings of grated cheese over the top. Heaven!

    We took this recipe to Turkey with us -made it there and it was great. Got home last night and made it again, quick and easy to make and tastes great. Not sure about the name though, as no vodka in it! We didn't use celery, but added spring onion and chopped red peppers. A great quick and easy recipe and with what's left over makes a great hot or cold lunch for work!

    Very nice, quick and easy to do. I used Quorn mince as a meat free alternative and it was delicious. Went down well in our house! Odd choice of name though..Bloody Mary = Vodka in my book.

    A lovely variation on a family staple. My family especially enjoyed this dish and the children didn't even mind the chillies.

    Easy midweek meal but nothing special. Strange choice of name.
