Quick Spag Bowl
The Spag Bowl recipe is super simple to make, packed with flavor and so delicious. Ideal for meal prep, it's filling, high in protein and so satisfying.
Ingredients
- 3 cloves of garlic (£0.09)
- 1 onion (£0.10)
- 400 g (5% fat) lean beef mince (£2.50)
- 2 tins of chopped tomatoes (£0.29)
- 2 courgettes (£0.60) (£0.60)
- 400 g wholegrain spaghetti (£0.27)
Cupboard Essentials
- 1 tsp mixed herbs
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp thyme
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Chilli flakes
- Salt & Pepper
Method
- Start by mincing the garlic and chopping the onions and courgette. I prefer to slice my onions instead of dicing for a bolognese to add a bit more texture.
- Add a tbsp of olive oil to a large saucepan and add the mince, onions and courgette. Gently fry for around 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, boil the kettle and add the pasta to a medium saucepan. Timer set to 10 minutes.
- Stir the seasoning and garlic into the browned mince, with a pinch of salt and pepper. If you like your bolognese with a kick add a tsp of chilli flakes.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and half the tin of water and add to the mix. Reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes.
- Once it has reduced to your desired consistency, serve up and enjoy! You could add some parmesan at the end but I opted for the cheaper option so skipped this stage.
