Can I put red wine in my SpagBol

[KittyVonCatsworth]

Ok, might be a bit dull here but I’m cooking spaghetti bolognese and plan to give my DNiece some. Can I put a drop of red wine in it? It’ll be cooked down for about an hour...please be kind, I’m fecking hopeless at this kid thing 😂

Yes it’s fine. Nobody ever got pissed on spag bol!

Yes! My mum has always done this. Delightful :)

Set another place . . ,

Enjoy!!

Of course you can - in fact it's obligatory

Hell yeah!

I always put red wine in, I love marmite I might follow PP tip too in future.

Yup - we always do it. Tastes lovely....... the alcohol boils off.

Yes and its the best bolognaise when it has wine in it! I use alcohol in a fair few recipes and have done since they were all small and none of my lot have ever shown signs of being tipsy afterwards :)

I always pour a glug of wine, once a mum from school was round whilst I was cooking and was aghast that I would serve it to my children when it had alcohol in

YABU as it supposed to be white wine 🍸

I think you would be VU not to put red wine in spag bol (or port dregs in gravy for that matter).

If you think what percentage of the sauce a small hold is going to eat anyway, probably adds up to a sip of wine. Some of her alcohol will burn awayn, so it works out at a negligible amount of alcohol. She will be fine

I bottled it and gave her spaghetti with tuna and vegetables instead 😂 i just had this horrible thought that she could be allergic or even the smallest bit could have an adverse affect. I’m not overly confident with little uns. We’ve had lots of fun today anyway.

White wine, chocolate, marmite, coffee and balsamic noted for the next Spaghetti Bol though!

Alcohol doesn't burn off?!

Oh dear - my children have been raised on Guinness casseroles, sausage in red wine stews, fish pie with white wine, stroganoff with a dash of brandy...

Oh well, they seem to have survived.

Believe me, if she had been my child I would’ve gone for it but I’m slightly nervous around them at that age...she tries to jump off things, is like a bloody rocket when she runs (and changes direction like a course hare), just gets into things that she maybe shouldn’t. I feel bloody exhausted!

CheshireChat that chart looks well dodgy! There's no source given for it either.

I’m stealing all these for my next slag Bol. I’m just throwing together a sausage casserole, can I bung a can of baked beans in it??

Spag!

Yes, definitely .

@fruitbat1980 abso-bloody-lutely, sausage and bean casserole 😋😋 I may make that tomorrow night...just need to figure out what booze can go into it now!

Can’t believe you haven’t been doing it already

Beans are in and a just told hubby to open a bottle of red so I can slosh a bit in too! Thanks ladies!

I always put some wine in mine, even when giving to small kids.

Well that's a bummer, am a recovering alcoholic for 34 years and happily consuming food with alcohol assuming it would have burnt off ! ☹️☹️☹️

And the correct pasta is???
