Cooking dinner has always been something that takes a lot of time out of my busy and crazy schedule. Cooking can be time consuming and if you are like me and hate it; would rather be playing online poker it is horrible. I have 6 people to organize dinner for daily and thought I would write up some quick meals for poker moms to dish up through the week and on weekends which take little to no time and are crowd pleasers.

MEAL 2 – Spaghetti Bolognese

Spag Bol as I call it is also really easy, simple and fast to make; in addition it is healthy too! Sound complicated? Does it sound time consuming? Think again! It doesn’t when I do it! Vegetarians simply make mixture without beef mince.

Needed:

500gms Mince Beef

1 Tin (Can) crushed tomatoes or even better Dolmio / Pre made shelf bolognese mix – this usually has very little that is not natural.

1 Jar Tomato Paste

1 Teaspoon Minced garlic (Pre Minced Garlic can be purchased from the store)

Mixed herbs

Basil

Black Pepper

Parsley

Pasta (Your choice, you do not have to use spaghetti, you can use spirals, shells and even bows)

Put pasta in saucepan in boiling water.

Place mince in saucepan on medium heat (half way around) and make brown. The mince can be made fine by using a fork to “mash it” as you are browning.

Add Tin (Can) crushed tomatoes or even better Dolmio / Pre made shelf bolognese mix (if not using pre mix, use 1/2 an onion finely chopped)

Add Tomato Paste

Stir well

Add teaspoon of minced garlic

Add sprinkles of all the herbs

Rinse off and drain pasta well.

Serve with pasta on the bottom, sauce on the top and cheese to your taste.

Another quick 15 minute meal – thank mom for them!
