Bolognese Sauce

 Lean and clean Bolognese sauce, perfect with pasta or in our Lasagne. This one is a hit with the whole family!


Ingredients:

Bolognese Sauce:
500g extra lean beef mince
1 medium carrot, grated
1 medium zucchini, grated
1 small onion finely, diced
1-2 cloves of crushed garlic
handful of fresh spinach, chopped
800g canned organic tomatoes, crushed
2 Tbsp tomato paste with no added salt
1/4 cup fresh basil and parsley combined
fresh cracked pepper to taste


Method:

 Combine first 5 ingredients in a large pot on med-high heat, cook stiring and breaking up the mince pieces with a wooden spoon for 5-10 minutes or until meat is browned. Add remaining ingredients to the pot cover with lid and lower the heat to simmer. Simmer sauce for 2-4 hours to really bring out the flavours but if you are time poor once sauce has come back to the boil and herbs/spinach have wilted it can be used. Enjoy!
