Bolognese sauce with hidden vegetables

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife May 15, 2015October 29, 2020

This is a great bolognese sauce with hidden vegetable recipe.  Perfect for the fussy toddler, you can add in any vegetables you like or have on hand in the fridge.  

I have used onion, carrots and zucchini in this batch. Grate, chop finely with a knife or blitz in the food processor.

I freeze left over mince in a zip lock bag, flattened in the freezer, this doesn’t take up much room at all. I place the zip lock bag into something with height (below I am using my sifter) to help it stand up which makes it easier to spoon mixture into.  Fill till 2/3 full, get out as much air as you can before sealing.

I skipped the mushrooms (personal preference) and this was delicious! My vegetable-hating husband loved it, too. I had to gently coax my toddler to even try it but she ate all of the meat (refused the spaghetti).

Will make again. Thank you!

My day has consisted of a moment of binge watching My day has consisted of a moment of binge watching Firefly Lane. Then running kids around. 

I’m putting a candle on to sit for a moment. Then it involves more mums taxi. I’ll cherish these moments though cause they will stop soon enough. Then what am I going to do when I’m not running kids around? Ooh the thought 🤪
White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies 🍪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This recipe was contributed by Tracey (a lovely member of our community!). She suggests using an ice cream scoop to shape the cookies, which should give them a lovely rippled texture on top. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The base recipe without the white chocolate and cranberries can be used for any alternative ingredients like dark choc bits and macadamias. The full recipe is on my blog! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

PS - I would suggest adjusting the sugar quantities to your own tastes if you prefer cookies to be less sweet! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
