Weekend Menu #42: Easy Spaghetti Bolognese

On a lazy Saturday, I cooked spaghetti lunch for the family.  Actually my first attempt cooking spaghetti since I am not a big fan of spaghetti or any Italian dishes.  But once a while I would crave for some savoury and/or cheesy flavours.

 

So yesterday I prepared Spaghetti Beef Bolognese for lunch.  Not that difficult when put my hands to preparing it.
