My favorite classic Italian dish Spaghetti Bolognese, served with garlic flat bread, finished off with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Speed up the prep time using Gia Garlic, Chilli and Sundried Tomato Purees available from Asda Morrisons & Sainsbury's
No more peeling, chopping, crushing, stinky fingers and a much quicker, easier preparation with the same authentic Italian taste
We made this meal for a midweek dinner for us and the kids , this quick and easy dish was made with three Gia purees and it gave a authentic Italian taste

2:Stir in the tomatoes, beef stock, Gia sundried tomato puree, Gia chilli puree and Macetilla sherry vinegar and seasoning. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 mins.
3: Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pan of boiling, salted water, according to packet instructions. Drain well, run hot water through it, put it back in the pan and add a dash of olive oil, if you like, then place the bolognese on top. Serve in hot bowls and hand round Parmesan cheese, for sprinkling on top
