- 3 Celery sticks (Chopped finely)
- 3 Carrots (Peeled and chopped finely)
- 1 Onion (Peeled and chopped finely)
- 6 Garlic cloves (Peeled and crushed)
- 75 g Tomato purée (tomato paste in USA/CAN)
- 125 ml Red wine
- 2 Beef stock cubes (bouillon cube) (Undiluted, crumbled)
- 2 tsp Dried oregano
- 3 Bay leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (or Henderson's Relish)
- 15 g Fresh basil (Finely chopped)

Instructions
1. Put all of the slow cook ingredients into the slow cooker and cook for 6 hours on HIGH or 8 hours on LOW.
2. Add the Worcestershire sauce and fresh basil.
3. [Optional:] If you want to serve with spaghetti, boil the spaghetti for 2-3 minutes less than the usual cooking time. Drain and add to the bolognese sauce, with a splash or two of reserved cooking water. Stir well and allow the pasta to absorb the sauce a little and soften.
