Water for the Sauce
Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the spaghetti.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the beef mince and onion and cook until the mince has browned and the onion has softened, 4-5 mins. Use a spoon to break the mince up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
Add the garlic and stir-fry for 1 min more.
Add the chopped tomatoes, red wine jus paste and water for the sauce (see ingredients for amount) to the mince.
Stir well to combine, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently until the sauce has thickened, 10-12 mins.
Meanwhile, add the spaghetti to the pan of boiling water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 8 mins.
Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back into the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.
When the mince is cooked and the sauce has thickened, add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Take the Bolognese off the heat and stir through the cooked spaghetti and half the grated hard Italian style cheese.
Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Share the spaghetti Bolognese between your bowls and sprinkle over the remaining grated hard Italian style cheese to finish. Enjoy!
