Chilli beef bolognese By Donna Hay

Bolognese sauce is well-loved for good reason. It's simple to make and rich with the flavour of veges and herbs, plus it has the cosy comfort of a true classic. There are many variations on the traditional recipe and here are three, each served in a different way. Try them as creative solutions for using up leftovers, or as a welcome change from regular spaghetti.
