Stephen Nottingham's Food Blog: Change4Life Supermeals ...

The Change4Life booklet provides a good, quick-and-easy, and?health-conscious?Spaghetti Bolognese recipe (see below). Everyone really enjoyed this one, which I served with a grated hard cheese and a tomato salad.

My main suggestion is that you could replace the courgette with celery, which is a more typical Bolognese ingredient. I added a chopped stick of celery (from a plentiful supply in the fridge). The courgette went in too, although I felt it worked against the richness I seek in a spaghetti sauce.

The 300g of spaghetti in the recipe is exactly equivalent to a 4 person serving, according to our free Vale of Glamorgan spaghetti measure (3 + 1 through the holes).

The recipe offers as a tip (Italian food purists?look away now) that you can use any pasta shapes you like and swap any of the vegetables for your favourites.
