The Aussie ingredient that will take your Bolognese to the next level

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and cook the onion and garlic for 5 minutes, until soft. Add the beef mince and cook, stirring and breaking up lumps with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned.

2. Add the tomatoes, VEGEMITE, oregano and ½ cup (125 ml) water. Stir to combine. Cover and bring to the boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 1 hour. When the sauce is almost ready, cook the spaghetti according to packet directions, then drain.

3. Transfer pasta to serving bowls and spoon over the bolognese. Toss to combine, and serve immediately with parmesan, freshly ground black pepper and garnish with parsley.
