If you've got a fussy kid like me, you're always after ideas to get extra goodness in. My son isn't a massive fan of bolognese, but if I stir his pasta through it he will eat it. I wasn't always able to do this, pasta and sauce did have to be separate in the early days, but over time I moved them closer together until the sauce was on top. Now I can get away with mixing it through (most of the time). Its about baby steps with kids like Alex!
 

When I make bolognese sauce it's always a big batch so that I can have an easy dinner another night, sometimes even a few. I simply freeze left over sauce in glass storage containers in the freezer so when I'm expecting to have a late night out at sport or a busy day at work I can quickly heat it up and cook some pasta. I usually try to make a really simple salad to go with it.
 

Bolognese sauce is also a great way to get fussy kids to accept new foods because you can gradually stretch the way you serve it to introduce new foods. You can serve it on different shaped pasta, in a lasagna, on toast or even on top of a steamed potato. We're still at the pasta stage, I've yet to manage to get Alex to eat lasagna but I'm pretty sure with persistence that one day I will.

Serve on gluten free spaghetti, penne, fusilli, linguine, toast, a baked potato or in lasagna. Yum. You can get your gluten free pasta here!
