Spaghetti Bolognaise Sauce

This recipe is from one of my sistesr, who is a great cook. (All my sisters are great cooks!)

Spaghetti Bolognaise Sauce
1 lb lean ground beef
1 small can tomato paste (6oz)
1 large onion, diced
2 carrots, grated
3 cloves garlic
4 slices ginger
2 bay leaves
1/2 tsp oregano
1 tsp salt
2-3 tablespoons sugar
1 cup water
grated sharp cheddar cheese for topping

Heat olive oil in saucepan, add onions, garlic and ginger.  Stir  20 sec, add beef and brown.
Add rest of ingredients and simmer for one hour.  Adjust seasonings to taste. 
Seve with spaghetti and top with cheddar cheese.
(Note: sauce is thicker and sweeter than normal spaghetti sauce, goes well with cheddar cheese.)
