SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE

SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE

An absolute family favourite that’ll please everyone. This is a handy recipe to have as you can use it to make a bunch of other dishes, like chilli con carne and lasagne.

INGREDIENTS

SERVES: 6

500g 5% fat beef mince

1 carrot

1 mug of frozen onions 

1 mug of frozen sliced mixed peppers

2 tbsp tomato purée 

1 tin of chopped tomatoes 

1 mug of water 

2 tbsp gravy granules 

1 x 500g packet spaghetti 

Grated parmesan, to serve 

Pepper 

METHOD

1: Heat a large, deep, non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Once hot, tip in the mince and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for around 10 minutes, until the mince is evenly browned. 

2: Peel and grate the carrot, then add this along with the frozen onions and peppers to the pan. Turn the heat down to medium and cook for a few more minutes to soften, stirring often. 

3: Once the onions are soft, add the tomato purée and cook for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the chopped tomatoes along with the mug of water, gravy granules and a bit of pepper. Bring it to a gentle bubble and cook over a low-medium heat, stirring often, for around 20 minutes until the sauce has thickened. 

4: While the sauce is cooking, bring a large pan of water to the boil and add the pasta. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or according to the packet instructions.

5: Once cooked, drain the pasta and serve it into bowls, then top with the Bolognese sauce and a sprinkling of grated parmesan.
