Veggie packed bolognese with chargrilled capsicum sauce

Bolognese is such a popular meal with families, and this one takes hidden veg to another level with SEVEN different veg in the one bowl.

If your kids aren’t keen on zucchini noodles, you could serve theirs with regular pasta instead. This recipe comes from 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge member Cassie Wight.

Cassie says ‘As a 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge member I love the variety of healthy takes on old favourites. This is a perfect low carb option for a family dinner, or a quick 30 minute meal to whip up for your Sunday meal prep for your lunches for the week.’
