《Makes for 2-3 adults》in 30min
This Bolognese sauce works on pasta, as a red sauce in lasagna, and pizza toast (top your favourite bread with this and some cheese of your choice)!
You can also chop and add whatever veg you like. One favourite variation is to swap half the amount of the carrot with chopped burdock roots. You will get an explosive umami flavour!
By using the Alce Nero Organic Cooking Tomato Sauce, you can whip this sauce up for dinner on a whim. Save the rest once cool in a ziplock or Stasher in the freezer and thaw a couple hours in the fridge before use.
