Red Curry Spaghetti Bolognese
The following recipe serves 4, but it can be easily divided in half, or made for 4 and packed for lunch the next day or frozen for another day. I used a traditional Italian mixture of pork and veal, but chicken, beef or turkey would work as well. Feel free to use rice noodles or gluten-free spaghetti for a gluten-free version.
