Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. 
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
Cook spaghetti
2
  • To the boiling water, add spaghetti. Cook for 12-13 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Reserve 1 cup (2 cups) pasta water.
  • Strain spaghetti, then return to the pot, off heat.
Start bolognese sauce
3
  • Meanwhile, in a large non-stick pan, heat 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter over medium-high, until melted.
  • Add pork, mirepoix and garlic puree. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-5 min, breaking up pork into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
Finish bolognese sauce
4
  • To the pan with pork, add marinara sauce, stock powder, cream and half the reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce heat to medium.
  • Cook for 1-3 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
Finish and serve
5
  • To the pot with spaghetti, add spinach and creamy pork bolognese sauce, then stir for 1 min until spinach wilts. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add more reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time.)
  • Divide spaghetti bolognese between plates.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan over top.

Review summary

Updated on Sep 2026
  • Flavour: The creamy tomato sauce with ground pork is well-balanced and satisfying, earning praise from even picky eaters; some found it slightly salty.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together, with minimal cleanup and a short cook time.
  • Suggestions: Add the pasta water gradually rather than all at once, as too much can make the sauce thin and take much longer to reduce. Some reviewers added chili flakes or fine herbs to boost the flavour.
  • Leftovers: This recipe makes generous portions and reheats well, with several reviewers noting there was enough for a second meal.
  • Portions: A few reviewers felt there was more sauce than pasta; consider adding a small handful of extra spaghetti if you prefer a more balanced ratio.
