Spaghetti Bolognaise

Ahh the classic italian pasta dish.. im pretty sure most of you all pretty much knows how to cook it.. but mine is a super simple version (the cheating version) heheheh...but this is a must in every gal's recipe book so that when you have no time to cook but lazy to go out and eat, you can whip up this dish in a mere 20mins time.. (the boiling of pasta took the longest)..
