Simple Steps to a Healthy Bowl

1. Heat a frying pan and sauté onion, carrot, garlic, mushrooms, and your choice of protein until cooked through.

2. Stir in the passata and let it gently simmer.

3. Drain and rinse the Slendier noodles, pouring boiling water over them if you prefer them hot.

4. Add shredded greens to the sauce and cook briefly until just wilted.

5. Season with salt and pepper, then spoon the sauce generously over the noodles.

Why This Bolognaise Works So Well

Using Slendier noodles instead of traditional pasta helps keep the dish naturally lighter and lower in carbohydrates while still satisfying. The mix of vegetables adds fibre and texture, while mushrooms contribute unique plant compounds and earthy flavour. Choosing a protein like turkey, beef, lentils, or quorn makes this recipe flexible for different preferences and dietary needs.
