Jamie's Bolognese Sauce

Place a large pan on a medium heat. Add 2 lungs of olive oil, sliced bacon and oregano and cook, stir until the bacon is golden.

Add the veg to the pan and stir every 30 seconds for around 7 minutes or until softened and lightly coloured

Stir in the minced meat breaking it up with your spoon and brown. Add the passata and half the empty jar with water to the pan. Stir in a good pinch of salt and pepper.

Pick the basil leaves and put back in the fridge, for later. Finely chop the basil stalks and stir into the pan.

Bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and simmer with a lid slightly askew for 1 hour, stirring every now and again.

Take the lid off and cook for another 30 minutes stirring occasionally. If sauce becomes dry add a splash of water.

Remove the pan from the heat stir through the parmesan, tear and stir in the larger basil leaves.

Serve with the smaller basil leaves sprinkled over.
