  3. Add tomatoes and their juices, cauliflower and sweet potato and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove from the heat, season and stir through beans.

Tips

  1. Use your choice of pasta (fresh or dried) in this recipe.
  2. Swap sweet potato for butternut pumpkin; green beans for chopped or baby spinach; omit the chilli flakes to reduce the spice.
  3. Make a double batch of bolognaise and freeze the leftovers for a great midweek meal – served with you choice of carb (pasta, rice, cous cous, mash etc).
