Slow-cooked Bolognese

This is the best bolognese I’ve tried yet on No Count and it’s just 1 point per serving!  If tracking, it is 10 points per serving.

Ingredients (serves 4):

  • 500g minced beef (5% fat)
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 150g mushrooms, sliced
  • 650ml hot beef stock
  • 400g chopped tomatoes
  • 2 flat tbsp tomato puree
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1 flat tbsp cornflour (2 points)
  • 1 tbsp cold water
  • 280g dry wholewheat pasta
  • ground black pepper
  • salt

Method:

  1. Brown the mince in a pan before transferring it to a slow cooker.
  2. Add the onion, mushrooms and garlic.
  3. Add the beef stock, chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, oregano and season with black pepper and salt.
  4. Cook on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  5. Mix the cornflour with the cold water and stir into the bolognese.
  6. Add the pasta and stir well.
  7. Continue to cook on high for a further hour.

Served here with carrots and broccoli.

    I’m confused, how can this be 1sp per portionwhen 70g of wholewheat pasta is 7sp….
    Am I missing something?

    Helen I have an old Tower 2.5 litre slow cooker and I wondered what size slow cooker you used for this recipe, also I am a pescatarian would Quorn mince work? Thank you.

    Hi Denise, yes the Quorn mince will work – I’ve tried it with that myself.I think my slow cooker is a 4 litre one but it’s not full when I make this recipe.You could always make half the amount if you’re not sure if it will fit in.I really hope you enjoy this one, Helen xxxxx
