Ready-Made Beef Bolognese

Nutrition per serve

Ingredients

• 20g sunflower seeds
• 250g spaghetti
• 400g beef bolognese sauce
• 1pcs tomato
• 50g mixed salad leaves
• 10ml olive oil
• 5ml red or white wine vinegar

Method

1. Step 1 — Toast seeds
   Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil for the spaghetti. Put the sunflower seeds in a cold small frypan over medium heat. Toast, tossing, for 2-3 mins until evenly golden. Remove from the pan, reserving the pan.
2. Step 2 — Cook spaghetti
   Cook three-quarters of the spaghetti* in the pan of boiling water for 12 mins or until al dente (see Did you know?). Reserve 2 tbs cooking water, then drain the spaghetti and return to the pan.
3. Step 3 — Simmer sauce
   Meanwhile, put the beef bolognese in the reserved pan and bring to the boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 mins until heated through. Remove the pan from the heat.
4. Step 4 — Add sauce to spaghetti
   Add the beef bolognese to the spaghetti. Gradually add the reserved cooking water, stirring constantly, until the sauce coats the pasta and looks slightly glossy. Taste, then season with salt and pepper.
5. Step 5 — Make salad and serve up
   Coarsely chop the tomato. Combine 2 tsp olive oil and 1 tsp red wine vinegar in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the tomato, salad leaves and sunflower seeds and toss to combine. Divide the spaghetti bolognese among bowls, serve with the salad and enjoy!
