Everyone's favourite! Good old 'Spag Bol' — a tasty,
filling dish that most of us enjoy and want to fit into our diets. The
lashings of pasta and heavy sauce can be a put off. However, most of the
major brands include a Spaghetti Bolognese in their low calorie ranges. Our panel eagerly put them to the test…
Spaghetti Bolognese, Be Good to Yourself, Sainsbury's*
An extremely tasty dish which had universal approval. Good
flavour which made it feel like you were eating something
special and not a standard 'Spag Bol'. Good portions of
all the ingredients. This one stood out from the rest and
didn't taste like a low calorie version.

Spaghetti Bolognese, Eat Smart, Safeway*
A good sized portion in an attractive and tempting
package. An appealing texture and flavoured dish with the
most chunky mince. Good slices of onion, mushroom and
carrots which gave the dish a homemade feel and taste.

Spaghetti Bolognese, Count On Us, Marks & Spencer*
This dish tasted healthy with a tasty, light sauce, tender
beef and a good mixture of tomatoes and mushrooms. The
portion was a little on the small side.

Spaghetti Bolognese, Weight Watchers, Heinz*
As always with Weight Watchers, the portion size was
deemed too small leaving a feeling of deprivation. The
dish was however given good marks for its taste and
texture. A thick sauce with good quality slices of
mushroom and onions. The blend of herbs and garlic puree
noticeably enhanced the flavour.

Spaghetti Bolognese, Healthy Eating, Tesco*
At first glance the spaghetti looks stringy and tasteless;
the dish also gives the impression of lacking in quantity.
On tasting the panel agreed the dish redeemed itself and
it was flavoursome and had a good portion of mince and
accompanying sauce. Not a dish to stand out, but
adequate..

Spaghetti Bolognese, Quorn*
We thought we'd throw in a vegetarian dish to see how it
compared to the others (remember the panel don't see the
packaging and brand they are tasting). A good sized
portion with a very pleasant flavour and taste. The
texture was a little on the runny side.

Conclusion
We all enjoyed the fact that our winner, Be Good To Yourself,
Sainsbury's was the lowest in fat! Hard to be derogatory about any
of the dishes but BGTY had that little bit special to offer and
satisfy the appetite.
