This Slimming World version of spaghetti bolognese is really easy to make – and because it’s classed as Free Food, you can eat as much as you like! Choose lean mince beef (less than 5% fat) and don’t add any oil and it instantly becomes a fabulous Food Optimising feast! We’ve added grated carrot, but you can pack it out with lots of chopped veggies. Celery, peppers, mushrooms or courgette strips all work well. It’s great for freezing too so why not make a pan full and have it to hand when you don’t feel like cooking. For more healthy recipe and food ideas go to
