Whether you’re cooking breakfast, lunch, dinner or all three, we’ve got simple tasty recipes for some mid-week magic at your dinner table.

And this comes from me – a rustic, impatient and forced home-cook.

I’ve found my own secret “cheat” ingredient – using Dolmio sauce – which I was surprised to find out doesn’t contain any nasties.

I bought a large jar (750mg – serves 6) of the low fat Bolognese sauce as I wanted to make two dishes, one vegetarian dish for me and a meat-based dish for my husband and the kids.

I decided to make myself  a healthy version of a “Mexican breakfast” dish called Huevos Rancheros.

And I made a Bolognese Lasagne for Chris and the girls.

Verdict: 

The Huevos Rancheros was so tasty and it felt indulgent although it is actually rather healthy.

I served up the Lasagne for my chef husband and the girls. No word of a lie, Chef Chris tasted it and said: “This is the best thing you’ve ever made me.”

RESULT!

Dolmio Bolognese Original 500g sauce is 100% natural. In each jar, you’ll find at least 10 juicy diced tomatoes, a dollop of tomato puree, half an onion, a tablespoon of sunflower oil, a couple of cloves of garlic, a handful of herbs including basil, a teaspoon of cornflour, a teaspoon of salt, a pinch of pepper, two teaspoons of added beet sugar for taste, a squeeze of lemon juice, a splash of water and nothing more. In fact, a jar provides a family of four with one of their 5-a-day each and that’s before you add any further veg to the meal!
