Completing the Spaghetti Bolognese
- Cook pasta, heat pan with 1tbsp of olive oil, add walnut meat just to heat through, add 1-2c of tomato sauce (more if you like really saucy-less if you like more meaty) to create the bolognese.
- I added in fresh basil, baby spinach and black olives for punch but certainly can be omitted.
