Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver reveals a simple variant that you can easily pre-cook for the family.

When cooking has to be done quickly, you are grateful if you can just reach into the freezer * and defrost something.

All you have to do when you cook fresh is to

prepare double the amount

and you can

freeze

half of it

.

This works particularly well with stews, soups, and pasta sauces.

For example with delicious

Bolognese sauce

.

On his YouTube channel, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver shows a classic and family-friendly recipe for Bolognese, which you

should

always have

in stock

for a quick pasta dinner, but also for various dishes such as

lasagne or chili con carne

.

Another advantage: With this sauce you can give your children an extra portion of vegetables, in this classic recipe, for example, in the form of

carrots and celery

.

You can also use other vegetables, such as zucchini or pumpkin.

In contrast to the traditional Bolognese recipe, there is no wine in the sauce so that children and pregnant women can also eat without hesitation.

Note: Alcohol does not always boil off completely.

    Freezing and reheating Bolognese: Here's how

    Since you have pre-cooked a large amount of Bolognese with this recipe, it's great to

    freeze a few servings.

    Then the next time you feel like

    spaghetti Bolognese, you will

    have it in the freezer.

    After the sauce has cooled, add a few ladles of Bolognese in portions to the zip-lock freezer bags.

    Lay this flat and squeeze the air out.

    The thinner the freezer bags, the

    faster the sauce will freeze

    and the faster it can

    be reheated

    .

    In addition, you can stack several sauce bags and save space in the freezer.

    The Bolognese can be

    stored in the freezer

    for a

    few months

    .

    To thaw, simply hold the bags under the tap for a short time, put the Bolognese contents in a pan and

    heat the delicious sauce

    in a few minutes.
