Simply Delicious Spaghetti Bolognese is truly delicious. The carrot and sherry give the rich Bolognese sauce a beautiful flavour.
This recipe is adapted from my 1993 edition of Simply Delicious (Colour Library Books).
It is the best Spaghetti Bolognese recipe I have ever tasted as it has a subtle sweetness from both the carrots and the sherry and a very deep tomato flavour. My children absolutely love this dish and for a special treat I serve it with some garlic bread as well as a hearty mixed salad.
This dish is ideal for doubling up and freezing half for another time.
As this recipe is so simple I have dispensed with the usual pan shots! (Phew, I hear you cry).
