1. Video tutorial: Making pasta

1. Heat the oil in non-stick frying pan. Tip in the carrot and cook for 5 mins to soften. Scoop out the tomatoes from the can and add to the pan, and cook for 5 mins more. Pour over the tomato juice and basil, then simmer for 15 mins. Whizz together in a blender until smooth. This sauce can be frozen for up to 3 months.
2. Heat through with the Multi mince. Cook spaghetti according to pack instructions. Reserve some of the cooking water, drain and tip the pasta into the pan along with the sauce. Toss together, thinning with pasta water, if needed, and serve with the extra basil leaves on top and the breadcrumbs.

  FANTASTIC !! My daughter is autistic, and won't eat anything with "bits" in, and my step-daughter is also very fussy with food, but they both loved this. I will definitely be making it again. I particularly liked the idea of putting a carrot in - when it was all blended together, no-one would have guessed. A great way to get children to eat their vegetables! 10/10 !!

  This dish was simple to cook and very tasty. The sauce tasted much nicer than the shop bought sauce I usually buy. From now on this will be my spaghetti bolognese recipe; no more shop bought sauce for me. My daughter loved it too and she is a fussy eater!

  Made for my husband (i am a veggie!) Had to add some tom puree, but apart from that i made no alterations to the recipe. With the rest of the multi mince (what a good idea that is!) I am going to make a lasagne. A nice recipe!
