Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: Most found the bolognese tasty and satisfying, though some felt the sauce was a little bland or too acidic. Adding crushed garlic, Worcestershire sauce, or a small amount of brown sugar helped balance the flavour nicely.
- Ease of prep: This is a genuinely quick and easy weeknight meal that comes together with minimal effort, making it a reliable choice for busy evenings.
- Suggestions: Some reviewers added tomato paste or a tin of tomatoes to boost the sauce, while others stirred through mushrooms, kidney beans, or chopped olives for extra depth. A few noted the soffritto mix stayed quite firm, so cooking it a little longer on the cooktop may help soften it.
- Leftovers: Several customers found the recipe made generous portions, with many enjoying the leftovers for lunch the next day.
- Portions: A number of reviewers felt the dish could comfortably feed more than the stated serves, and suggested reducing the pasta quantity if cooking for fewer people.
