In DT in Year 5, we have been designing a recipe for a healthy Bolognese sauce. We tasted different sauces and evaluated them, deciding which we liked best and why. We then analysed the sauces ingredients and nutritional information and we discussed which we thought was healthiest and why. After that, we researched different recipes and came up with our own, making sure it was as healthy as it could be by adding extra vegetables such as carrots and peppers and reducing unhealthy ingredients such as fats, salt and sugar. Together, we created a recipe deciding on how finely things needed to be chopped, how we wanted them cooked and for how long. We prepared and chopped the vegetables carefully using knives and other equipment such as an onion holder and a peeler. We decided we wanted a smooth sauce, so it was blended once it was cooked. We decided that the best way to taste our sauce would be to have it with some pasta with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese on the top. Most of use absolutely loved the sauce. Ryan said, “It’s more delicious than delicious!”
