Add now the mincemeat, a pinch of salt and pepper, and let it colour, turning it every now and then, until the gravy begins to dry. Then add the wine in successive stages - and when the wine is finished continue with the coffee. Finally, add the dried mint and marjoram. stir to amalgamate all the ingredients. Serve this ragout with the pasta "al dente", that is to say, not "mushy". Serves 6 people.
