Quick & easy spaghetti bolognese

Who doesn’t love a good bowl of spaghetti bolognese? Everybody’s favourite weeknight dinner just got a whole lot easier – adding readymade pasta sauce means less time in the kitchen, more time on the couch (cue: Netflix and chill).

INGREDIENTS:

  1. Olive oil: 30 ml
  2. Onion: 1, diced
  3. Garlic cloves: 2, crushed
  4. Lean beef mince: 500 g
  5. Pasta Sauce: 375 g
  6. Whole wheat spaghetti pasta: 500 g
  7. Hard Italian Cheese: 60 g, grated
  8. Salt and pepper to taste

METHOD:

  2. Add the rest of the olive oil, the beef mince and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the mince over a medium-high heat until well browned. 
  3. Add the pasta sauce to the mince, give it a good mix and allow the bolognaise to simmer gently  on a low heat; season to taste. 
  4. Meanwhile heat a large saucepan of water and add a generous pinch of salt. Cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions. 
  5. Once the spaghetti is cooked through, drain and add to the pan with the bolognaise sauce.
