cook bolognaise then drain pasta and add the bolognaise flattie sauce on the plate.

tips:when cooking do not overstir the flatty sauce because you want those big flatty chunks to stay, if you overstir them they will break up too much.

serves about 2-3 so alter as needed.

yeah the mince is kinda optional depending on taste but it comes up the goods, just have to keep the big fleshy vegetables out of it and the fish flavour is very nice indeed.

ypu cpuld even drop the tomato and onion and go a nice creamy flathead sauce on pasta

cheers

yeah it the goods, just keep the watery vegetables out of the mix and most combinations of the above recipe will be very nice.

ease off on the tomato canned or cut back on the onion, either way, your right the pasta and flattie is an

awesome match ( drop the mince all together if youy like).

Ginger and garlic is my favourite herb with fish

cheers
