Cost-Effective Spaghetti Bolognaise for the Economic Crisis

Tonight my wife and I cooked a very economic crisis friendly spaghetti bolognaise, at only $1.80 per serving!

Ingredients (makes 6 Servings)

500g Spaghetti	$0.99
500g Premium Beef Mince on Special	$4.00
400g Diced Tomatoes	$0.80
184g Champignons	$1.06
400g Three Bean Mix	$0.96
1 Large Onion	$0.40
1 Large Carrot	$0.25
430g Olives Black Sliced (1 cup of which is needed)	$2.14
3 Garlic Cloves	$0.20
Total Cost for 6 Servings	$10.80
Cost per Serving	$1.80

Put the Spaghetti in a pot on the stove, cook for approx. 20 minutes in boiling water. Cook the mince in a frying pan, once brown add onions diced and garlic cloves crushed. Once further cooked add diced tomatoes, a cup of olives and all the remaining ingredients to the mix.

Once the spaghetti is soft and ready to eat, the bolognaise should be ready. Serve and enjoy.

Bonus: The extra bonus of this meal is the lack of added fats, sugars and salts that come with using bottled or jarred bolognaise sauces. Resist adding any bought tomatoe sauce too! You don't need it.
