Yeah I agree with littlepotts, it''s really great to add vegies! I chop up broccoli and grate some carrot and zucchini, and also add some fresh ginger too! I find it adds a lot of flavour and goodness!

Spag Bol is a classic but i spice it up with four bean mix, carrot, spinch and zucchini i just place all of them in the food processor so they are quite fine, ( I have fussy people who dont like vegis at home) and just add then at the same time as the mince and it is a lot healther and bulkier so i can freeze some for later.
