1
SAVE: Replace the pork with your favourite plant based mince alternative. Or for something different, try with lentils. (Add a litre of vegetable stock if you do this).
2
EXPERIMENT: Use this Bolognese to make a shepherd's pie instead of classic mashed potato, top with pureed swede, parsnip and carrot.
3
EVEN HEALTHIER: Serve over cauliflower rice (cauliflower blitzed in a food processor, tossed in a drizzle of olive oil and roasted in a hot oven (200°C/fan 180°C) for 12 minutes) instead of pasta.

1
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Finely chop the onions, celery and carrots, then fry in the oil for 5 minutes until starting to brown.
2
Finely chop the capsicums, zucchini and mushrooms and add to the saucepan along with the rest of the ingredients. (Chop the vegetables in a food processor using the blade attachment if you can, to save time).
3
Add 400 ml cold water to the pan and bring to a simmer. Leave to cook for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4
Serve over freshly cooked pasta and serve with a side salad and grated parmesan if you wish.
