Ingredients

Spaghetti Bolognese

• 500g beef mince
• 1 brown onion
• 1 large carrot, finely grated
• 600g jar of passata
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 500g dried spaghetti
• olive oil, salt, pepper
• Grated cheese to serve

Instructions

To make the Bolognese

1. Finely dice the onion.
2. Put the onion, garlic, carrot and mince into a large non stick saucepan with a dash of olive oil.
3. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mince is browned evenly, stirring continuously.
4. Add the jar of passata and simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring regularly.
5. While the mince is simmering, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions.
6. Drain the pasta and divide between the bowls (or freezer containers, if meal prepping ahead for the week.)
7. Divide the bolognese sauce between the bowls or containers, and top with some grated cheese.

Notes

Use any type of mince (ground meat), or 300g of finely sliced mushrooms for a vegetarian option.

For a healthier version, use wholemeal spaghetti, and for a Keto diet, use vegetable noodles instead of spaghetti.
