My Food Bag Semester 1

During this semester we were learning about making a healthy balanced food bag. I chose to make spaghetti bolognese for teenagers. I chose to make spaghetti bolognese because I remembered one time making spaghetti bolognese and really enjoying making it. It was easy to make and it tasted very nice so I think that most of the teenager will like it too and it is packed with good nutrients and healthy vegetables.
