This is another of our go to Bolognese sauce. We pack it full of vegetables and bone broth too. We have this usually at least once a week, and use it on Spaghetti Bolognese, pasta bake or in a lasagna or in a shepherds pie.
As one of our family members now needs to keep on a low FODMAP’s diet, we omit any onions and use celery and garlic which make a tasty and healthier option. If you are in a hurry you can grate the carrots and courgette rather than chop them.
