Recipe: Quick and Easy Spaghetti Bolognese

If you’re cooking along with our Month of Simple Suppers feature in the February 2017 issue, congrats, you made it to week three! As with weeks one and two, there’s no need to make a shopping list or menu plan—we did it for you. Below is a shopping list for five dinners and a dessert. If you’re cooking with us for the rest of the month, some of these ingredients (such as fresh herbs, Parmesan, and garlic) will be used multiple times. And be sure to check your pantry before you head to the store—you may already have many of the items on hand.

Week 3 Menu:
Monday: Quick and Easy Spaghetti Bolognese
Tuesday: BBQ Rub Roasted Chickens with Potatoes and Carrots
Wednesday: Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya
Thursday: Hearty Beef and Freezer Veggie Soup
Friday: Fish Tacos and Topping Bar
