Minced

Beef mince is very versatile and can be jazzed up for a posh meal or made into a simple dinner during the week. I used to make spaghetti bolognaise a lot with many different flavourings such as chutney and Worcester sauce, but I obviously can't be fancy anymore and I've actually found that simple flavours work even better!

Rice pasta is a gluten-free alternative to wheat pasta. I love it because it's light and doesn't leave me feeling bloated and uncomfortable like normal pasta does.
