Spaghetti bolognese is an Italian classic which always hits the spot, for me this is an absolute comfort food which cannot be beaten. Easily adapted to many dietary preferences, this is a winner every time!
75g Dry Spaghetti
100g Lean Beef Mince 5% Fat (133g Raw)
200g Tinned Chopped Tomatoes
1 Medium Carrot
½ Medium White Onion
1 tbsp Mixed Herbs
1 tsp Clove Garlic (Minced)
50g Frozen Peas
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (Grated)
For a Vegetarian/Vega version swap beef mince & Parmesan for a vegetarian/Vegan substitute
1) In a pan with 1 calorie cooking spray at a medium heat cook your minced garlic, Diced onion and mixed herbs until the onion starts to soften, then add in your beef mince and cook until browned, and cooked through.
2) At this point start to boil some water for your spaghetti, with a generous pinch of salt in the water.
3) Once cooked add in your peas and tinned chopped tomatoes and stir thoroughly. While the bolognese begins to simmer, grate in your carrot, and add salt and pepper to taste.
4) At this point add your spaghetti to the water and cook. Continue to cook your bolognese until it thickens up a little.
5) When the spaghetti is cooked, drain and try to save a little of the spaghetti water.
6) In your bolognese pan add in your spaghetti and spaghetti water, and mix well. Don't add too much of the water so that you make it watery.
7) Once mixed, serve with your parmesan on top. Enjoy!
