575 gram jar tomato pasta sauce

Method

1.Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water for 10-12 minutes, following packet instructions. Drain well.

2.Heat oil in a medium frying can on high. Brown mince for 4-5 minutes, breaking up any lumps with the back of a spoon as it cooks.

3.Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, for another 4-5 minutes, until mushrooms are tender.

4.Stir in sauce and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes.

5.Serve pasta topped with bolognese. Sprinkle with a little shaved parmesan and chopped parsley, if you like.

You can sauté a chopped onion before adding the mince to the pan. Put a chopped carrot and zucchini in the mix to sneak some extra vegetables into your family’s diet If you have some, add a little red wine to the sauce.
