Spaghetti Bolognaise

I strongly suspect that this is very much a British version, not an Italian one. Spaghetti Britagnaise?

• 1 onion, chopped

  Moderate heat: fry for 10-15 minutes until golden.

• 300g minced beef

  Moderate to high heat: fry until well browned.

• 2/3 tin of chopped tomatoes
• 1 tbsp tomato puree
• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 1 1/2 tsp mixed herbs
• 1 tsp basil, dried
• 100ml of water

  Moderate to high heat: mix well and bring to the boil.

• 1 large red pepper, chopped
• 150g closed-cup mushrooms, chopped
• 2 bay leaves, large

  Return to the boil then simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Serve with pasta.
