Thermomix Recipe- EDC (pg 64) Weight Watchers Pro-Points: 9 per serve (as a serve 6)

SPAGHETTI BOLOGNAISE WITH WHOLEMEAL PASTA

I love my Spaghetti bolognaise and when I saw and made this recipe from the EDC I thought it would be really high in WW ProPoints. But when I put it into the recipe builder on my WW planner, I found it isn't really that high at all. This recipe is straight from the EDC (I added the wholemeal pasta)

Enjoy!!

Ingredients

80g Stalk Celery
1 Carrot, roughly chopped
1 Onion, quartered
1-2 Garlic Cloves
Few Oregano Leaves
Few Basil Leaves
50g Olive Oil Light
400g Lean Beef mince (made in thermomix)
1 fresh bayleaf
Pinch Nutmeg
70g Red Wine
70g Water
150g Tomato Paste
200g Tomato Puree


Method

1) Place celery, carrot, onion, garlic, oregano, basil into TM bowl and chop for 5 seconds on speed 7

2) Add Oil, minced beef, bay leaf, salt and nutmeg and cook for 10 minutes at Varoma Temperature on Reverse Speed + Soft, placing basket on top instead of MC.

3) Serve on a bed of cooked pasta!


It's that easy!!!

A few helpful hints:
* The recipe uses half beef, half pork mince. However Pork is higher in fat and WW ProPoints than Beef, so I make mine with 100% beef mince.
*If you aren't making your own mince, you will need to buy thicker, chunkier mince rather than fine (or it makes the sauce too runny!)
*If you like your sauce even thicker, add a beef stock cube in to help thicken
