4. Kayla-Ann Osborn’s gran’s Bolognese

The classics are such for a reason, and there's yet to be a dish kids like more than Bolognese. Serve with penne, which are easier for small fingers to eat or even top with mash for a cheat's Cottage Pie. This is also a great way to sneak in extra veggies – the kids will never know.
