Bolognese Sauce

What is it?

Rich beef and Italian tomatoes form the base of this pasta sauce, with minced beef, onion, garlic and herbs cooked down into a thick, spoonable mix. It comes as a frozen sauce, meant to be heated through and stirred into pasta once it’s piping hot. Compared with other ready-made sauces in Sainsbury’s frozen range, this one leans on a classic bolognese profile rather than a creamy or tomato-only style. The texture is fairly chunky, so you still get pieces of meat and vegetable in the sauce.
