Notes

Variations:
  • Veggie-packed bolognese - up the veggies in your bolognese by adding chopped peppers, diced aubergine, and baby spinach to the recipe. Cook them along with the onion and garlic until tender, then add the rest of the ingredients and cook as directed.
  • Spicy bolognese - if you like a bit of heat, try adding 1 chopped red chilli at the same time as the onion. This will add some heat to the dish and give it a bit of a kick.
  • Red wine bolognese - for a richer flavour, try adding a glass of red wine just before you add the Quorn mince. This will add depth to the sauce, making it taste like it's been simmering on the stove all day.
  • Slow cooker bolognese - for an even easier meal, try making your bolognese in a slow cooker. Simply add all the ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours. This is a great option for busy weeknights when you don't have time to stand over the stove.
