Towards the end of the second Fridge, Freezer, Pantry week  I used up some Bolognese sauce which had been in the freezer.  The first meal I made from this little batch of Bolognese was a traditional Spag Bol.  Lovely, tasty, delicious spag bol  However, there was still a little sauce and pasta left over so I decided to cook up a dish that had been on my radar for a while now – a Spaghetti Bolognese Omelette!

This recipe comes from Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall’s Love Your Leftovers. This is a very handy book if you are keen to reduce your food waste.

So, as I was making this, delusions of grandeur were flitting through my head.  What if the Spaghetti Bolognese Omelette…or the Spag-Om / Bol was to become the viral fusion food of 2020?   Move over Dominque Ansell and take your cronuts with you! This is the year in which coronavirus and the Spag-Om™ take over the world.  Before you start to mock me, remember that I have been in lockdown pretty much since March.  That’s FOUR months.  As of the coming Wednesday, we cannot even step out of our houses without wearing masks.  No wonder I’m becoming delusional

So is the world ready for the launch of the Spag-Om™?

In a word, no.

This was not very nice.  I feel the same way about the Spag-Om™ as I do about chocolate cheesecake.  Each of the components is lovely, delicious yummy.

On their own.

But mix them together and you open a minor circle of hell.  The Bolognese totally overpowered the omelette.  If I was going to wrap my spaghetti Bolognese in something think I would have preferred a tortilla or other sort of wrap that you could toast until the bread got crunchy…maybe add a bit of garlic butter…happy days!

All is not lost though. I think there is something here.  I feel a less meat-heavy sauce than Bolognese may be a better option for the future of the Spag-Om™,  I have some pesto in my freezer.  Maybe next Fridge, Freezer pantry week will see the launch of Spag-Om™2  Electric Booglaoo aka The Pesty Spag-Om™

Stay tuned, stay safe and have a lovely week!
