Product Information

We get through a lot of tinned tomatoes in our house, with Spaghetti Bolognese and chilli con carne in heavy rotation. I've tried the fancier Napolina chopped tomatoes in the past and have found them lovely and rich in comparison to many other cheaper brands. But they're also one of the most expensive on the shelf and in these costly times, I'm keen to save money where I can. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan, drain, halve and pat dry the artichokes, add to the frying pan and fry over a medium-low heat for 4-6 minutes until golden. Add the bacon to the clean jug and chop for 5 seconds on speed setting 9. Scrape down the sides of the jug with the spatula and add the remaining oil, then brown the bacon for 3 minutes using the roast button.

Your Monsieur Cuisine can be used to make family favourite midweek meals, like this easy spaghetti Bolognese recipe. Leaving it to simmer on the reverse setting means you don't need to worry about monitoring or stirring the bolognese while its cooking - giving you time to get on with other things!If it wasn't for the price, I would happily eat this sauce straight from the jar as a makeshift tomato soup with a nice hunk of buttered bread. It would go perfectly in a hearty bowl of ravioli or family-size spaghetti bolognese. And on that note, I made a large dish of pasta for my whole family so that no jars in this experiment went to waste. I froze the rest.

When I first opened the tin, I noticed the tomatoes were paler than the other brands I’ve used before, but the smell was really nice and sweet. I added the chopped tomatoes to the pan and noticed that, despite they're being a good amount of tomatoes in the tin, the consistency was very watery. Aldi's Everyday Essentials Tomato and Herb Pasta Sauce had a low tomato content and, as a result, was pale in colour. It was watery and had big chunks of onion in it. It was the cheapest at just 47p for a 440g jar, however, it didn't boast that rich tomato taste. Inactive - Do very little exercise, going for the occasional walk (moderate pace, low intensity).

Co-op's Bolognese Pasta Sauce was bright red in colour, but not bright on flavour. It was a bit tasteless to be honest and there was a very subtle taste of oregano.
