Gavin's Bolognese Sauce

Title: Serves 2

Vibrant, Classic Bolognese Sauce, Made with Love by Gavin

There’s nothing quite like a big pot of bolognese simmering away filling the kitchen with the comforting aroma of tomatoes, garlic, herbs, and tender beef. Gavin’s version is a labour of love, cooked low and slow to bring out every layer of flavour. His family recipe blends premium beef, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and a touch of red wine, finished with herbs for that authentic Italian depth. The result is a rich, velvety sauce that clings beautifully to pasta, making every mouthful deeply satisfying.

Gavin has perfected this sauce over years of cooking at home for his family, balancing hearty comfort with simple, honest ingredients. It’s versatile too – delicious tossed through spaghetti, layered into lasagna, spooned over gnocchi, or even served with crusty bread. Delivered freshly frozen, it’s ready to heat in minutes, giving you a restaurant-quality Italian meal at home with none of the fuss.

About Your Cook

Hi, I'm Gavin!

Growing up, I was always cooking and creating in the kitchen with my mother, growing fresh produce in our garden, experimenting with dishes at home, and was brought up eating kale, spinach and humous before they were well-known foods!

I have cooked in some of the best fine dining restaurants in Australia, but at home, and as a father of three, my food is all about comfort food that is unpretentious, wholesome, nutritious, and that the whole family can share. I love cooking with the best seasonal and local fresh produce and being able to transform this into something healthy and super tasty for everyone to enjoy.

    Delicious rum balls. Perfect size, flavour and texture. The pack comes with 6 rum balls and they are a good portion size each. Very yummy with premium ingredients and just enough rum flavour.
