Bolognese

This is cooked in one pot (apart from your pasta) and it is PACKED with goodness. If you have picky eaters you have the option of blending the veggies & tomatoes into a sauce and they will eat everything without knowing it!



Serves 4

Ingredients

500g minced beef, lean & organic if possible
400g tin chopped tomatoes or chop fresh
75g button mushrooms, diced fine
1 red pepper (bell pepper), diced fine
1 carrot, diced fine
1 courgette, ends removed & diced fine
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, crushed or chopped fine
Dash red wine vinegar
1 tbsp basil, dried or finely chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
4 portions of cooked whole wheat or GF spaghetti
Pink Salt & Pepper to taste



Brown mince in a large pot with the onion in olive oil

Add garlic, peppers, carrot, courgette & mushrooms. Cook until
tender

**If you want to blend these with the tomato, simply
remove the mince from the pot before adding the veg.
You can then add the cooked veg, wine vinegar & tomatoes to 
a blender and blitz until smooth. 
You can then return the mince to the pot in the next
step**

Add tomatoes, wine and basil. Season with salt & pepper and bring to 
the boil. Turn down the heat and simmer for 10 mins until your pasta
is ready to go


Serve & enjoy the goodness!
