  This true Italian classic recipe packs a delicious flavour and a protein punch with none of the meat. Try our Spaghetti Bolognese with a vegetarian spin.

1. Heat the oil and fry the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and mushrooms for 5-10 minutes until softened. Add the remaining ingredients except the mince and cook for 15-20 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
2. Place the pasta in a large pan of boiling water and cook according to the pack instructions. Drain but reserve 3-4 tablespoons of the cooking water.
3. Meanwhile stir in the frozen mince into the tomato sauce and heat through for 3-4 minutes, adding a little of the pasta cooking water if required.
4. Serve the Spaghetti Bolognese topped with the cheese and basil.

Tips: Our simple vegetarian Bolognese recipe is even easier with a few useful tips. If you don’t have time to make the sauce from scratch look out for tomato sauces with added vegetables or add some grated carrot and frozen peas to boost your veggie intake! If you’ve got fussy little ones you can always puree the sauce and then add the mince. As our mince is vegan, this recipe can be made into a vegan option by simply substituting the spaghetti and cheese with vegan alternatives.
