Herbie’s Easy Bolognese
We had great fun in the test kitchen perfecting an easy bolognese recipe that tastes incredible, with our new Bolognese Seasoning. To the classic base of Italian herbs, we’ve added porcini, black garlic, chilli, smoked paprika and allspice to give ultimate flavour to the dish. The seasoning can also be used in casseroles and on pizzas and grills.
