At university, I used to make the same dish over and over again whenever I was 'entertaining' or missing Mum's cooking. Spaghetti bolognese. It's so easy, because with the Masala Blend mix there is no long list of ingredients and minimal washing up! 'Back in the Day' Mum used to mix me a masala blend which is now the Spice Fusions Masala Blend for Meat. This took the hassle out of making a tasty meal and I used to freeze the leftovers. And, if there's one tip I can give you, nothing tastes better than a dish where the spices have been left to infuse!
Ingredients (Serves 4)
1 Tablespoon cooking oil
1 Finely chopped medium onion
400g Tin chopped tomatoes.
2 x 20g Masala Blend for Meat
500g Minced meat. I use turkey mince.
For washing up: 1 frying pan, 1 wooden spoon, 1 knife and a chopping board.
Method
1. In the frying pan heat the oil and saute the onions until soft.
2. Add the mince and the Masala Blend for Meat. With your wooden spoon, mix the mince with the masala blend and cook the mince until brown and all the excess water has evaporated.
3. Add the tin of chopped tomatoes and cook for a further 10 minutes.
4. Serve with Spaghetti and spinkle with cheese.
Serving tip: This is a great dish for the kids and if you want to make it milder without compromising on taste then use the Masala Blend for Vegetables which has a lighter, fresher flavour.
Freezing tip: Allow your mince to cool and transfer to a freezer safe container. Follow the manufacturer's freezing/defrosting guidlines. When you heat the bolognese please ensure it's piping hot throughout before serving.
