Ingredients
- 750 g minced beef
- 1 medium onion
- 3 large carrots
- 2 celery sticks
- 2 Cans Tinned Tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp tomato puree
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp basil
- 2 Tbsp oregano
- 2 Tsp Frozen Chopped Garlic
- salt & pepper
Kitchen Gadgets:
- Ninja Foodi
Instructions
- Peel and dice the onion and the carrots as well as cleaning and slicing the celery.
- Use the sauté function to sauté the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery with extra virgin olive oil.
- Once they are sautéed add in the minced beef and brown all over but don’t cook.
- Then add everything else into the slow cooker (apart from the spaghetti) and mix well. Slow cook for 4 hours on high.
- Whilst the slow cooker is working its magic (about 30 mins before it finishes) soak in a bowl of cold water the pasta you are using. It will remove the starch and transform it into fresh pasta. Then warm up in the microwave for 2 mins with a little butter and seasoning.
- When the slow cooker is done, stir and then load the Bolognese over the spaghetti.

Notes
- Slow. Note for the slow cooker for this spag bol recipe we used the Ninja Foodi. Just like any other slow cooker but you can use the sauté instead of the hob for browning meat and sauteing onions.
- Mince. I highly recommend using 5% fat minced beef. This is because the lower in fat the less greasy the Bolognese will become as it cooks in the slow cooker.
- Spaghetti. We used our quick soak spaghetti method which you can see in more detail in our instant pot garlic spaghetti recipe.
- Swaps. If you would like a low carb alternative, I recommend serving over our microwave spaghetti squash instead.
