Excellent recipe, I added one chopped up chilly which was hardly noticeable.

This is the only spaghetti bolognese my 16 year old daughter has eaten in her life. Ive made many since she was born, all have been rejected.
I added 4 tsps Tuscan seasoning and replaced tinned tomatoes with passata.
Bellissimo.
Thankyou!

Absolutely delicious! I added carrot and zucchini and blended it with the onion so the kids don’t see it! Winning!!! They love it too! Great recipe

Yummy yummy yummy! I misread and added 700g jar of passta instead of 2 tins of tomato (thought it was tomato puree not chopped tomatoes) but everything else as per recipe. Everyone loved it and it is now our go to for the kids.
