Out of all four of our recipes we decided to do Paiges recipe which was Spaghetti Bolognese 


Profile target: Middle aged men or small families

Method:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the mince and the onion and fry for five minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mince is browned and the onions softened.
2. Add carrot, cook for around one minute, then add tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
3. Place the wholemeal spaghetti in a deep saucepan full of salted boiling water and cook according to packet instructions, then drain.

4. To serve, divide the cooked spaghetti between four dishes, spoon equal portions of Bolognese sauce over each and sprinkle with parsley.

We added broccoli, carrots, chilli beans, sauce & garlic to our recipe whilst cooking which was a lot of added nutrients
