Dolmio Bolognese Sauce

I have not used shop brought bolognese sauce for years because I like to make my own pasta sauces from scratch. Last week though I had a bad cold and could not be bothered with all the stirring and simmering so I decided to get a jar of Dolmio from the shop. The sauce is thicker than it used to be and sticks to the mince better while I am cooking it. I also noticed that there are big chunks of tomato in the bolognese sauce and these are obviously proper tomatoes. I remember there were only a few very small slimy chunks of tomato in Dolmio when I used to use it at least 5 years ago and these always seemed artificial like tinned tomatoes. The taste is ...  Read the complete review

I have to be honest when it come to making spaghetti bolognese I do tend to cheat and use a pre-prepared sauce mix and most of the time it is Dolmio that I opt for. It is more expensive than the supermarket own label brnds however I find that the sauce is thicker and has a richer flavou so it is worth the extra few pennies in my opinion. It comes in a glass jar and there are a couple of size options however I tend to go for the 500 gram option as even though I'm only cooking for the two of us I like to make extra and freeze it for later in the week. To prepare a bolognese all you have to do is fry the mince until it is browned and then in a large pan add ...  Read the complete review

I buy my Dolmio Original Bolognese sauce from Tesco for 1.38 for 500 gramms. I like to prepare pasta, but some time I am too tired to cook a decent sauce and I have to buy them from my local supermarket. The Dolmio one is not the best around, but it is quite cheap. It does not taste fresh, I mean, you can tell that they have put inside quite a few things to keep it preserved, but it does the trick.

This is a good standard tomato sauce that I use in many of my vegan dishes. Often, I come home from work and faffing about is just not an option. The ingredients in the sauce are wholesome - so adding some vegetables like onion, garlic, pepper and courgette - and then some lentils can make a highly nutritious pasta meal. Price ------ The sauce can be bought from Tesco for £1.70 for 500g or £1.30 for 320g. I usually find that the smaller jar is quite adequate - but none of the larger jar gets wasted anyway - see recipe ideas further down. Packaging ------------ The sauce comes in a colour coordinated glass ...  Read the complete review
