If you have never cooked with chestnuts before - then I encourage you to give them a go! This is a great recipe for kids because they are super sweet and very high protein making them close to the perfect meal to nourish hungry, growing bodies. I have grown up eating chestnuts and have always loved them.

This bolognaise is great on pasta but also delicious on bakes potatoes or even brown rice. It freezes perfectly as well so make extra and keep it for a can't be bothered cooking night. You can chop your veggies much smaller if you don't want your kids to be alerted to them. If you have a thermomix chop on speed 5 for 3 seconds.  I'm trying to get my boys used to the look of real veggies so I left mine hand chopped in this picture.
