Spaghetti Bolognese

So, one of the easiest and most filling recipes I do is also one of the most flexible. I’ve written a basic recipe here, but you can experiment with different vegetables, or put in cooked lentils instead of soy mince, whatever you like. I hope it goes without saying that the level of seasoning and garlic are merely to my taste, so adjust those as you see fit too. This recipe feeds two hungry people, or more if you throw in a bit of bruschetta to start or something.

2 teaspoons basil

Half a tablespoon of hot sauce

Tablespoon of ketchup

200g Spaghetti

 

 

Here’s how I do it:

Put a pan of water on to boil for the spaghetti and while that’s heating up, prepare your ingredients.

Fry the onion and garlic till softened.

Chop your onion into half moons and mince the garlic. Pop them into a frying pan with a few splashes of water and heat them gently.

Once your water’s boiling, put in the spaghetti and cook for ten minutes or whatever the package instructions say.

Empty the can of tomatoes into the frying pan and add the mince and frozen veg. Give it a good stir.

Cooking the veg and mince only takes a few minutes.

While that’s bubbling away, drain and wash your kidney beans using a sieve or colander and add them to the pan after a few minutes.

Add your oregano, basil, hot sauce and ketchup and stir again, making sure everything’s mixed well.

Pop the cooked spaghetti into warmed bowls.

Simmer away until your spaghetti is cooked. Drain the spaghetti and make sure it’s dried off before adding to warmed bowls.

Tuck in!

Your bolognaise should be cooked by now, so spoon it over the top of the spaghetti.

Serve with cracked pepper and maybe a grating of vegan cheese. Enjoy!

    Very nice bolognese recipe, but I would suggest instead of draining the spaghetti, just transfer them from the boiling water directly into the frying pan, mix everything up, and then serve in bowls. I feel that this way the spaghetti maintain a creamy texture without adding any sort of cream.
