  Tried the morrocan mince - I thought it was nice - probably better suited for a morrocan style shepherds pie...

  Easy recipe but the taste is just OK. Good but not great.

  We all loved this - even my 5 year old ate it all and she doesn't generally like food with vegetables in! Will definitely be making again.

  My children are not lovers of veg so I left out the mushrooms and put a slightly reduced amount of veg into the food processor before frying. I also used 5*500ml of pasata instead of the tomatoes. Used fresh herbs (unchopped) and retrieved them after cooking. Result was brilliant with happy kids and Mum! Sure to become a favourite.

  It would be nice if they had included in the list of ingredients the amount of spaghetti needed! After all, it's just as important as the sauce and a useful indication for those cooking for groups.

  Didn't add the wine, to try to be more economical, but I felt the whole dish was lacking something. Kept aadding more seasoning towards the end of the cooking time to try to help and added beef stock cubes, but it didn't really work. We are not into rich food, but this was definately lacking something!

  I made this to fill up the freezer very pleased with the results !! Made a huge lasagne and several portions of meat sauce that I'm sure will be great for pasta bakes etc. I'll be making this again as its really easy and the results are very tasty !!

  To Mik I appreciate you want a recipie for spag bol but this is just a recipe for bolognaise sauce for adding to recipes like lasagne spag bol etc...It makes quite a lot too. So maybe you should ask how much bolognaise should I add to my pasta as you must already know how much pasta you need per person..look on the pack :0).

  To A Astley, Maybe ommitting the wine was the other 3 stars you missed on. If you dont follow a recipe and change it then you can hardly mark it down. Its your recipe now.

  Much better than out of a jar. But harder work. It was just perfect though with Nigel Slater's parmesan garlic bread for a big family get together.
