Spaghetti Bolognese is one meal that the whole family agree is tasty and delicious . Follow my easy spaghetti bolognese recipe and  have them coming back for seconds. For picky eaters or younger members of the family you could blitz the meat mixture with a hand held soup blender to get rid of any ‘lumps’.

Ingredients:

• 500g Minced Beef/lamb/turkey
• 1 onion chopped finely
• 2 or 3 carrots chopped finely
• 10 – 15 Mushrooms
• 1 Tin Tomatoes or 1 Jar Passata
• Mixed Herbs (oregano and Marjoram)
• Half a stick Celery
• 1 Bay Leaf
• 1 beef or mushroom stock cube/pot

Method:

• No need for oil, heat your saucepan and brown your mince.
• Remove meat and add onions, cook until softened.
• Add the chopped carrots and mince back to the pan.
• Add the herbs and bay leaf, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
• Once the carrots begin to soften add the tomatoes and stock – there is no need for water.
• Cover and cook for 20 minutes on a low heat.
• Cook your pasta. Once your pasta is ready blend your meat sauce if you wish and spoon over the pasta. Sprinkle with cheese and enjoy.

Top tip: If you make a double batch of the meat sauce it can be turned into Lasagne for the following day.
