Chicken Bolognese Served With Wholewheat Spaghetti

Bolognese is traditionally made using beef mince, however, chicken mince works beautifully and is a much leaner cut of meat. This recipe is full of flavour and I would recommend serving it with either pasta, rice, jacket potato or in a wholemeal wrap.
