Bolognese Ratatouille Hybrid

,

Ingredients (note, this makes enough for two):

  • Beef mince (ground beef)
  • Two sticks of celery, chopped
  • Spring onion, chopped
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Black olives, halved
  • Half a leek, chopped
  • Mushrooms, halved
  • Tin of chopped tomatoes
  • Spaghetti
  • Tomato puree
  • Chopped asparagus
  • Black pepper, cayenne pepper, red chilli flakes and mixed herbs
  • Cheese

Method:

  1. Put the spaghetti on to cook in lightly salted water and the beef mince to start to brown in a frying pan
  2. Add in your chopped leek, spring onion and celery before giving it a big mix
  3. Add the cherry tomatoes and black olives and give it another mix through
  4. Add in the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree and all the herbs and spices
  5. Let it cook down for five to ten minutes before adding in the asparagus for about a minute
  6. If you’re making more than you will be serving up tonight put the beef into a Tupperware and then mix the spaghetti through to get well coated
  7. Serve and add some cheese (I used white cheddar because it was that, cottage cheese or mozzarella)

Storage And Eating Tips

This can very easily be moved to Tupperware and the rest had a day or two later or you could even freeze this and have it next month. If you are doing this move the mixture of vegetables and meat into the tupperware first before you mix the spaghetti through. This always you to be a bit more versatile with your leftovers and, this is a personal preference, but having to add extra liquid to stop spaghetti drying out during reheating is a risky game.

Versatile suggestions include putting it with a jacket potato, garlic bread or even cous cous mixed through it all.

I obviously added a completely random selection of vegetables and you can replace them with whatever you have and you enjoy. For instance cooked celery isn’t to everyone’s preference. I might suggest chopping up the black olives into more slices than I did or simply buying pre-cut ones.
