Easy Peasy Beef and Vegan 'Nduja Bolognese
with Linguine, Spinach and Cheese
Originating from the city of Bologna in Italy, Bolognese sauce is also known as ragù alla Bolognese - a rich, meat-based tomato sauce to dress pasta or make a lasagne. In this recipe, we're combining it with veggie 'Nduja, a hot, umami blend of Calabrian chillies and peppers, that's completely meat-free but with all the same flavour.
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

- Boil a full kettle.
- Meanwhile, heat a frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).

- Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer, 3-4 mins.
