Rainbow Spaghetti Bolognese

 

I made Spaghetti Bolognese Yesterday and the dietitian in me added extra veggies I am sure its not very Authentic Italian, but very nice!

Ingredients:

• One pack of very lean beef
• 1/2 red onion
• 5 cloves of garlic
• salt
• Italian herbs, and fresh basil other fresh herbs are also great
• one carrot diced
• red, yellow and orange pepper, 1/4 each
• spinach
• one box of mushrooms
• 6 tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon tomato puree

Method:

1. Saute the onion, and garlic in olive oil, with the beef till brown
2. then add the mushrooms, carrot, herbs, and peppers cook for 5 min
3. then add spinach, reduce down
4. add 6 fresh tomatoes and a little tomato puree cover and simmer on a low heat for 30 min

This dish freezes really well, its rich in protein, iron, antioxidants and whole grains.

It was served with wholewheat pasta, lovely.
