Spaghetti Bolognese

Serves: 2

Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

• 100 grams lean beef mince
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon tomato puree
• 1 tablespoon dried mixed herbs
• 1/2 red pepper, chopped

• 1/2 carrot, chopped
• 1/2 courgette, chopped

Method

1. Brown the mince over a gentle heat, stirring to stop it from sticking.
2. Add the onion to the mince and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Add the remaining ingredients (if you don’t like one of the vegetables, swap it for another), bring the sauce to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes.
4. Cook the pasta in boiling, salted water, according to packet instructions.
5. Serve the Bolognese with the spaghetti, seasoning with pepper to taste.

Handy tip: To save leftover boiled pasta, mix drained pasta with a little oil, cover with cling film and store in the fridge for a maximum of 1 day.
