Bolognese is a classic pasta sauce that almost everyone likes to eat.
There are countless recipe variations.
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.
We're not talking about frozen pizza, but about delicious, home-
cooked food
.
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.
