In a saucepan heat the olive oil and when hot add the chopped onion, fry for a few minutes until soft.  Add the minced beef and garlic and fry with the onion, breaking it up as you go.  Add the tomatoes and herbs.  Simmer gently with a lid for 30 minutes.  Add the chopped mushrooms and simmer with a lid for a further 20minutes.  If the sauce requires thickening, simmer further without the lid.  The sauce can be divided into 4 portions and each portion individually frozen for future use.
