Cook the Pasta: Bring a medium pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the linguine pasta and cook until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
Brown the Mince: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat (use a light coat of cook-and-spray if needed). Add the extra lean beef mince and crushed garlic. Cook, breaking the mince apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through.
Simmer the Sauce: Stir in the peeled tomatoes in tomato juice and the Worcestershire sauce. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer gently for a few minutes until the tomatoes break down and the sauce thickens and deepens in flavor.
Assemble and Serve: Plate up your hot linguine pasta and spoon the rich beef bolognese sauce generously over the top. Garnish with a crack of fresh black pepper if desired.
Meal Prep Note: This bolognese sauce stores incredibly well! You can easily batch-cook the sauce and store it in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Cook your pasta fresh or store them together for a quick grab-and-go lunch.
Freezer Instructions: The bolognese meat sauce freezes perfectly on its own. Let it cool completely, transfer to a freezer-safe container, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stove, adding a splash of water if it needs loosening up.
Travel Friendly: Pack the cooked pasta and bolognese sauce together in a secure, microwave-safe airtight container. It travels well and holds its flavour perfectly, just keep it in a cooler bag if you won’t be heating it within a few hours. When you’re ready to eat, simply microwave for 1–2 minutes until steaming hot, give it a quick stir, and enjoy!
