This bolognese sauce recipe is for making a massive batch for me to FREEZE!! I haven’t specified the amount of salt/ pepper/ chilli to add so you add what you like. You might even like to add some soy sauce/ tamari for an extra kick.
This is one of the things you will always find in my freezer. It is is a great dinner when you are too tired to cook – just take it out of the freezer and reheat. PLUS it forms the base of other dishes including lasagne, pizza, burritos or tacos (just add kidney beans and ground cumin and coriander).
