  I enjoyed making this quick and easy recipe and it added something special to the minced beef(which I had cooked with a few fltterings of blue cheese) Very tasty

  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!

  So much nicer than the shop-bought sauces that are available, try it! There was some multi-mince left over so I adapted it to make a chilli. Lush! :)

  Delicious! I made a batch of the "multi mince" and used half for this recipe and half for "quick cottage pie" which was also lovely. I added some tomato puree to the mix and served it with home made cheesy garlic ciabatta. Comfort food at it's best!!!

  Really tasty. Made it using what was in the cupboard so swapped passata for the plum tomatoes and a red pepper for the carrot. Yummy! Highly recommend this recipe - will never use a bolognese jar sauce again.
