I’ve just made a store cupboard meal. The beef could be replaced entirely with lentils or dried soya if you prefer a Vegetarian version. It is very cheap for those watching their money.
This recipe made 5 generous servings of spaghetti bolognese in my pressure cooker.
This can be made on the hob in the same manner but simmered for about 20 mins after sauteeing the veg.
