Spaghetti bolognese has a special place in my heart. My mum made it very often while I was growing up and it was always a treat! Sure, it wasn’t as authentic then because I would request additional chicken sausage in my portion but I was quite adventurous with food (except beansprouts of course) so Italian food is one of my favourite cuisines and I crave pasta fairly often. When I went to Sheffield for university, I started to miss my mum’s version of spaghetti bolognese quite a bit. So during a busy exam period, Sandra and I made a huge pot of bolognese sauce to last us a few weeks. Needless to say, after eating spaghetti bolognese every night for about 2 weeks I weaned off it for a while (lol). But every once in a while, I crave it again. So here’s my version of spaghetti bolognese – a cheat version minus the wine because I use pre-made sauce from the grocery store. Ain’t nobody got time to peel tomatoes and as I’m writing this, Malaysia is under a partial lockdown due to the Covid-19 virus so we have to make do with what we have in the pantry.
Hope you feel more inspired to make a wholesome homecooked meal for yourself and your loved ones. Especially so during this restriction movement order. Take care of your self by doing things you enjoy and keeping busy. It’ll do wonders for your mental health.
