Step 4 — Finish bolognese
Add the garlic, Italian seasoning and half the umami seasoning* to the mince and cook, stirring, for 1 min. Add the tomatoes and 125ml (½ cup) water and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 mins or until the sauce is thickened.
