This effortless speedy spaghetti is a favourite with the cook and kids of all ages, and who can blame them? An irresistible spaghetti bolognese bursting with classic Italian flavours made in a jiffy.

Ingredients

1 ½ tsp cooking salt
500g spaghetti
3 tbsp olive oil
500g mince, pork or beef
3 tbsp Gewürzhaus Speedy Spaghetti Spice
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes
140g tomato paste
Salt and pepper, to taste
Freshly grated parmesan cheese, to serve

Directions

Fill a large pot with water along with 1 teaspoon of salt. Cover and bring to the boil, then cook the spaghetti following instructions on the packet and drain.
In the meantime, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large heavy-based saucepan on medium-high heat. Add mince and fry for 2-3 minutes, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon.
Once the mince is browned all over, add in the Speedy Spaghetti Spice, balsamic vinegar and remaining salt.
Stir, reduce heat and simmer, monitoring until the mix starts to caramelise and become sticky.
Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste, stir to evenly spread, then continue simmering on medium heat, covered with a lid for 15 minutes.
Serve on top of the drained spaghetti and season to taste with salt and pepper. Finish with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Purchased a jar in August last year and it has now become one of my regulars. These days I measure with my heart rather then by the recipe. I also add onion, fresh basil and cook through some fresh cherry tomatoes. I’ve also started adding some soy sauce to the dish as well as the balsamic vinegar to bring out that deeper flavour. Delish!!

Used this on our holiday for a quick and easy meal and didn’t want a heap of leftover ingredients. Used 25g of seasoning for a meal for 4 adults. Was delicious and none was left over.

Was unsure about using balsamic vinegar in the beginning but a complete convert now, the rich caramelised flavour made it incredibly delicious and would totally recommend. I will never make spaghetti bolognaise any other way other again. Fussy teenage daughter even went back for THIRDS!!

The recipe for using this spice was absolutely delicious! I made a gluten free version and it went down a treat.

I have made this twice already. So easy and so good!! Never buying bottled spaghetti sauce again.
