Family spaghetti bolognese

Family spaghetti bolognese

Ingredients

  • 300 g beef mince
  • 1 onion, chopped fine
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped fine
  • 400 g tinned tomatoes, no added salt
  • 1 tbsp tomato purée
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 200 g spaghetti

Contains: Wheat

Method

  1. Soften the onion, carrot and celery in the oil 8 minutes. Add the mince and brown.
  2. Add the tomatoes and purée; simmer 30 minutes, adding water if it gets dry.
  3. Cook the spaghetti in unsalted water. Chop your child's spaghetti short and mix with sauce; salt the adults' portions.
Safety: Serve your child's portion first, then salt the rest for the adults.
Storage: Sauce: fridge 3 days, freezer 2 months.
Tip: Chopping the spaghetti short is the difference between a toddler eating it and wearing it.
