Speedy Lamb Spag Bol
with 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 using lamb and making it come together in just 25 minutes.
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.
