    Spaghetti Bolognaise Recipe - ThermoFun

    Jump to recipe

    Here is another great reason to have my much loved ThermoFun Passata in your freezer.  I've always made my bolognaise this way but have never thought to write it down and publish it!  There was a bolognaise discussion in my ThermoFunkies Club Facebook group a couple of weeks ago, so I wrote down my recipe and sent it to a few of my members to try.  They all replied saying  "you need to publish this now" as their kids gobbled it all up and it is a great way to add hidden vegetables.

      This is by far my favourite bolognaise recipe! I use for my lasagne too 🥰 Is it possible to add this to my Thermomix through create a recipe?

        Hi Tessa,
        Thermomix have said on their facebook page that this is not allowed.
        "What you can't do:
        ❌ Please do not upload recipes from other Thermomix® recipe sites or cookbooks. This would be a breach of copyright and against our Terms of Service.
        So, it's super simple! If the recipe is yours, you can upload. If it's from Cookidoo® or Recipe Community, you can import it.

          I wasn’t meaning to offend, sorry. I was hoping there was a way you could upload to make it easier for me to use, not for me to claim your recipe. All good, not a worry.

          Thanks for getting back to me.

      This is one of the best spaghetti Bolognaise I’ve ever made, must be the red wine. Yum.

      My family really enjoy this recipe and it's great that the mince stays a good texture and not smooth like in some other TM bolognese recipes. I didn't have time to make any Passata this time so cheated by using the following tweaks.
      Chopped 1/2 red capsicum with the other veg. Instead of passata used 2 tins diced tomato, 1 tsp dried mixed herbs, 1 tsp dried basil, 1 tsp paprika, 30g tomato paste. Cooked this at step 4 for 10mins/Varoma/Sp1 Reverse. Then continued following the recipe as you have it. The pinch of chilli flakes really makes a difference and I recommend it!

        Thanks for sharing your tweaks Tania for when you don't have time to make the passata. :)
