Quick and Easy Pasta Bolognese

This is a good, quick and easy low fat pasta bolognese. Leave out the creme fraiche and/or Parmesan cheese if you are on a diet or use a low fat variety.

Ingredients

400g pasta (wholewheat spaghetti is good)
500g lean minced beef
1 carton passata
Freshly ground black pepper
2 or 3 tablespoon crème fraiche (optional)
Parmesan cheese

 

Method

1. Cook pasta according to instructions on packet.
2. Brown minced beef in a frying pan. There is no need to add extra oil as the beef will cook in its own fat. Drain the excess fat from the minced beef once it is brown and return minced beef to pan.
3. Add the passata and black pepper and heat until passata is hot.
3. Stir in the creme fraiche, if used, and cook for a further 30 seconds.
4. Serve with pasta and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
