I’m not gonna lie, we eat a variation of spaghetti bolognese at least twice a week. Sometimes it will be turkey, sometimes organic beef or pork. Sometimes we eat it with wholewheat spaghetti or whole spelt spaghetti, other days it’s brown rice spaghetti or courgetti. It’s always different, but no matter what goes into it, it is always the quickest, easiest, child pleasing meal I know!
We are about to go off to spend a few days at the beach so I made up a batch of this tonight ready to put in the freezer for when we get home and are in need of some good and healthy home cooking.
This is my all time favourite bolognese!
