The essential Italian pasta sauce is as popular as ever and it’s always worth making double and freezing half for a rainy day
ingredients
- Low calorie cooking spray
- 500g lean beef mince (less than 5% fat) or Quorn mince for a meat-free version
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 1 large carrot, peeled and diced
- 3 celery sticks, roughly chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 400g can chopped tomatoes
- 4 tbsp tomato purée
- 500g passata
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Small handful of finely chopped fresh parsley, to garnish
method
Spray a large non-stick frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and place over a high heat
Add the mince and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until browned, then add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic and stir-fry for 1 minute
Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, passata and dried herbs, season well and cook over a medium heat for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir the bolognese into your favourite pasta and serve hot, with parsley scattered over.Tip: Extra-lean turkey mince or extra-lean pork mince would both work well instead of the beef.
