@mummyandmeeatallergyfree: Sometimes I wish the slow cooker didn’t need my help at all 😂 but at least it still beats standing over a stove for ages! If you have a chopper for your veg this would be prepped in 5 mins. This probably took me 10! What you need: -Couple of carrots, celery sticks and some mushrooms finely chopped -500g chuck casserole - as much garlic as you like -1 tblsp paprika -1 tbslp or Italian herbs -a tiny shake of cinnamon -2 bay leaves -1 jar of passata (700ml) -1 tblsp tomato paste -3/4 cup beef stock Chuck it all in and cook on low 6-8 hours. Remove bay leaves, shred beef and return to slow cooker. Put on your fave pasta and add into the slow cooker (we used 350g of parpedelle which contains egg- please use whatever pasta suits your families allergy requirements). Because we used a whole box of pasta this served all four of us including seconds for my husband and 4 year old over 2 nights! Adding more pasta will help to stretch it further as will adding some yummy crunchy bread or garlic bread. Enjoy! Bec x #slowcooker #slowcookermeals #ragu #dairyfreerecipes
