pasta/bolognese sauces..?

[looobylooo]

is there any difference in a jar of, say - a tomato, spicey pepper 'pasta' sauce and a jar of tomato, spicey pepper 'bolognese' sauce, please..?
are they basically the same thing..or..?
thanks

Bolognese sauce has mince in it, no?

Either way, shop bought ones are cack... make your own ;-p

Its very easy to make your own and you can freeze it too.

Snaggy is correct, bolognese has meat in it.

[looobylooo]

lol, snags, well i do..sort of ..
i make a delicious dish with peppers, onions and tomatoes etc, with a jar of dolmio's sauce thrown in, ie - tomatoey onion and garlicy one, along with a few other bits too,
i've noticed i've got a few jars of both sauces in the cupboard - pasta and bolognese,
so i just wondered if they were the same, they look the same! - tomatoey!
and i checked the label on the bol one, and there was no mention of there being meat in it..?

[snags]

Wha 'is' the difference between the two in the ingredients then?

Hi loooby, I know what you mean they always put that on the jars. After using them I now make my own. To be honest I think they just add pepper and garlic into the tomato. Which you can easily do yourself. Don;t forget to put in some herbs and salt and pepper. A lot cheaper and nicer. No preservatives.

[looobylooo]

as far as i can see, on the one i checked anyway, not alot!
that's why i was wondering, lol,
and thought id ask why one was a pasta sauce and the other a bolognese sauce

[snags]

Mmmm... garlic bread.

Loobylooo, I have put my family's recipe in this thread:

You can add mince to it to make it into bolognese. Just for future reference if you want it xxx

[lilacben]

They both are.!

[looobylooo]

ok, thanks all - snags, lilac and vodka :o)
i will have a look at the recipe, cheers for posting it up!

No probs, the first part is the tomato pasta sauce....ignore the bit for the cream sauce and you can omit the chilli if you want. :)

[snags]

On second thoughts, stick with the jar of Dolmio... bloody Italians and their 'passata' ;-p

[looobylooo]

what?! omit the chilli??! ooooh noooo! the spicier the better!

[vodkancoke]

Oi! Cheeky lol ;) x

[snags]

Well... it's just tomato puree innit...

[snags]

Oooh beg pardon... pur'é'e...

[vodkancoke]

You know nothing piccola salsiccia! ;-p x

[snags]

:-o

I know I could beat you in a race to the pasta shelf in Tesco... hop along ;-p

[vodkancoke]

Ok I won't argue with you there! lol ;-P
