We love a lot of mushrooms, tomatoes and herbs in our spaghetti bolognese but you can adjust the recipe to suit your personal taste. You could even be a little more adventurous and use different types of mushrooms like chestnut or portabello mushrooms.
Sometimes I’m not in the mood for spaghetti or we’ve run out and didn’t realise until it was too late. Cook up the bolognese and mix it through some freshly boiled rice and you’re good to go!
