Nutritional values
At first glance, the sauce looks deceptively similar to the classic Bolognese - but thanks to the minced beef, the sauce delivers a particularly high protein content and surprises with extraordinary aromas. With a green salad to go with it, you can increase your enjoyment and vitamin content even more.
The riper the tomatoes, the more aromatic the sauce. But what to do if there are no really ripe ones? It's simple: take canned tomatoes instead - they are guaranteed to have the right aroma.
If possible, prefer whole grain pasta because of its higher fibre content. If you want it to go faster, the sauce can also be served with other types of pasta, such as linguine.
