It’s winter, which means comfort food time. You could go Bolognese, although if want something that feels a little lighter and you didn’t start cooking dinner at 3pm, this recipe is for you. And don’t get me wrong, we love a Bolognese around here, but this warm and toasty dish is comfort food and healthy(ish) at the same time. Have I mentioned it takes less than 30 minutes to prepare?
