Easy bolognese recipe

Nothing is ever comforting as Italian food, it is second to a traditional Indian one! But something that whips up fast and is a pleaser to not only the husband but also the minion, who happens to be a fussy eater, scores a 10/10 in my recipe book.

Busy days call for something fast and easy, I know most of us search for recipes that fit that criteria and so this Bolognese recipe is for people on the lookout for one such recipe to go to. If not, its just pleasing to the stomach so cook away!
