Italian Bolognese Blend

Italian Bolognese Blend — Blend No.14

A good bolognese is a family staple — and ours turns simple mince and tinned tomatoes into a sauce an Italian nonna would approve of. Skip the sugary jars and additive-heavy packets: this is just herbs and spices, so you get all the flavour and none of the nasties. A rich, comforting bowl of spaghetti bolognese on the table in 30 to 40 minutes.

What it tastes like

Savoury, herby and comforting — oregano, basil, thyme and rosemary with garlic, onion and a hint of tomato. Rich and aromatic rather than spicy, the proper taste of a slow-cooked Italian ragù.

Cook this tonight

• Brown your mince, stir in the blend with tinned tomatoes and chopped veg, and simmer for a classic spaghetti bolognese.
• Use the same base for lasagne, pasta bakes or a rich cottage-pie filling.
• Make it meat-free with lentils, mushrooms or a veggie mince for a hearty plant-based ragù.

How to use it

A little goes a very long way — just one teaspoon is plenty for a family meal for four or five, so a single 50g pouch makes up to 10 meals. Add it early with your tomatoes and let it simmer low and slow to build flavour. It even doubles as a rub — try it on salmon, where the herbs and tomato notes work beautifully.
