For a while, spaghetti bolognaise was my favourite meal before getting on a plane. The airport didn’t have many options and so it soon became my go-to meal. This version is based on the bolognaise sauce recipe in the Thermomix Everyday Cookbook – but packed with vegetables – and served with wholemeal spaghetti for extra fibre. It’s labeled “Version 1” because I think I can get more flavor out of these ingredients by cooking them differently – so look out for it in the future.
