Slim Fast Review Review Of The Slim Fast Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe


Followers of the Slim-Fast diet eat 3 snacks, 2 shakes or bars and 1 "proper" healthy meal per day. On its UK website, Slim-Fast provides 31 suggested recipes that can be used by followers of its diet, and which count as healthy, proper meals. As Slim-Fast dieters only get to eat one real meal per day, it is essential that this one meal per day is appealing and appetising. Otherwise, we suspect that most people wouldn't last long! In this third in a new series of articles we review another of these 31 recipes - Spaghetti Bolognese.


The following recipe makes 1 serving.


1. Firstly, put the kettle on to boil. Then peel and finely chop 1 onion, 1 clove of garlic and 1 carrot; also finely chop 1 stick of celery. (I don't like celery, so I substituted an extra carrot)
2. Heat a small saucepan. When hot, add a little oil together with the prepared vegetables. Cook gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. When the vegetables are beginning to colour, add 115g extra-lean minced beef. Cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes. Whilst the meat is cooking, prepare 150ml beef stock (from a stock-cube is fine).
4. When the minced meat is browned, add 1 tablespoon of tomato purA©e, a pinch of mixed-dried herbs and the beef stock. Stir well, cover, and simmer gently for around 10 minutes.
5. Next, use the remaining boiling water to cook 85g of spaghetti according to the instructions on the packet.
6. When the spaghetti is cooked, drained well and place on a plate - top with the bolognese sauce.


My opinion


I thought this was a decent recipe, which I give 3.5 stars out of a possible 5 stars. The taste was good, although it could be improved through the additional of some worcester sauce or even brown sauce. I would also double the amount of garlic in order to make the taste even better. As with the other Slim-Fast recipes that we have reviewed recently, the portion size is good and it would be sufficient to fill up even the hungriest of dieters. As an alternative to spaghetti, I would also serve this with a jacket potato - since there are lots of juices produced in the cooking of this recipe.
