Is Spag Bol a weekly staple at your house? You’re definitely not alone. It’s the simple weeknight meal that everyone loves. And with this Easy Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe, cooking the family favourite just got easier.

Thanks to one simple kitchen hack, you can cook Spag Bol in less time AND in one pan! The trick? Fresh pasta!

The fresh stuff cooks in less than half the time it takes to cook regular pasta. So throw it in with your Bolognese sauce and wallah! Dinner in minutes. Less time, less mess, but MORE yum. It’s pure genius!

Fresh spaghetti can be hard to find. So, I have used fresh fettuccini instead. Technically it might not be ‘spaghetti’ Bolognese, but who even cares when you’re saving time, right? If you try my quick and easy Spag Bol, I’d love to hear what you thought. Hit me up in the comments below.

Notes

• Want to feed the whole family. Easy! Except the onion, just double the ingredients.
• If fussy family members won’t let you get away with adding spinach to your sauce, try sneaking in some grated zucchini or add another veggie to your side salad.
• I used Latina Fresh Egg Fettuccini, available from Woolworths and Coles in Australia. The pack says it serves 2, but the serving size is HUGE. Just use half the pack and freeze the leftovers for next time.
