Pasta Bolognese is a firm family favourite. Easy to make, delicious and always dairy free so a good choice for us. Simple to make gluten free as well – that’s down to your choice of pasta and Worcestershire Sauce. We still think that the Sainsbury’s gluten free pasta is the best out there.
So here is our family recipe for Pasta Bolognese. To be honest, it’s my husbands recipe. I hate Marmite and never would have added it in – but I have to say, it does make the difference between a ‘nice’ Bolognese and a ‘wow that’s yummy’ Bolognese.
