My sister has a hungry family of 5 and she will often cook up a big batch of bolognese sauce and freeze it off into portions and decide what she will turn it into once she defrosts it – That’s why I am calling this post magic meals. If you prefer to make a vegetarian bolognese sauce with lentils and veggies you can still turn your sauce into any of these 5 magic meals!!
Of course you can serve your bolognese sauce with pasta or vegetable noodles!!

2. Mexican – Try adding some spices & beans to make your bolognese into chilli con carne and serve with rice and or corn chips, cheese & salads for a taco bowl.

3. Shepherds Pie – Add herbs & frozen peas to the bolognese & top with a veggie mash and cheese and then bake in the oven.

4. Pastitsio – Place cooked macaroni mixed with 2 whisked eggs into the base of a baking dish top with spinach leaves and the bolognese sauce then top with white sauce, bread crumbs and cheese and bake in the oven.

5. Lasagna – Of course you can layer the bolognese sauce with fresh pasta or instant pasta sheets and bechamel sauce and top with cheese and bake till crispy.
YAY!! Thermomix Australia have revamped the 28 Day Challenge – there are 2 to choose from the 28-Day Fresh Start Meal Plan and the 28-Day Savings Meal Plan. I have decided to do the Savings Meal Plan with some of the new recipes from the Fresh Start Meal Plan included because I have made most of those recipes last time I did the challenge. I will be doing a live facebook video of each recipe everyday (if i miss a day I will make up for it on a different day – I promise!!) And I will be posting a photo of the finished recipe on my instagram, facebook business page and also in the 28 Day Meal Plan facebook group. So who is up for the challenge? It’s a fun way to try new recipes!! I have had to start the on a Friday instead of a Sunday as I will be away towards the end of the 28 days!! Sign up here for free. The recipes are on cookidoo and you can sign up for a 30 day free trial of cookidoo too.
