Leftover Makeover: Beef + Veggie Bolognese
Our Beef + Veggie Bolognese is a classic, family friendly recipe with endless personalities (hmmm… sounds a bit like myself). Cook once, enjoy over and over without getting bored, and pop the leftovers in your freezer for those days when you’re running on empty.
Swap your Base
Use wholemeal or pulse pasta, or zucchini noodles
Serve over baked potatoes or sweet potatoes
Use as a flavour base for risotto – then turn into arancini the next day by rolling into balls, dipping in egg, dredge in breadcrumbs and frying until golden!
Bake again
Turn your sauce into a lasagne with pasta sheets, veggie strips or alternating both (zucchini, eggplant, sweet potato, spinach, etc). Top with cheese or bechamel sauce
Make an eggplant parmigiana by layering grilled eggplant with the sauce and mozzarella cheese
Stir through some rice and use to stuff and bake capsicums
Top with mashed potato for a shepherds pie
Kid Friendly
Use instead of tomato paste for pizza bases (flat bread + Bolognese sauce + favourite toppings)
Instead of tomato paste for chicken or eggplant schnitzel / cutlets / cotoletti, swap for the sauce, top with cheese and grill until golden
Add an egg or two to leftover sauce and spaghetti and fry into fritters for lunchboxes
