Spag bol = Spaghetti and Bolognese sauce. Just an aussie shortening, but sure it is like that in the UK, but maybe not in Canada?

We put onion, garlic, celery and carrot in spag bol. Then, if I'm using the sauce to make lasagna instead, I also add mushroom and capsicum

I always load up anything mince-based with veggies. I love veggies, they give it so much more flavour, too. Grated carrot, courgette, aubergine... I've not tried adding celery, but will now, for sure.
My latest batch of chilli also had grated parsnip in it, as I had some left over after Christmas. That gave it a lovely flavour.

Have you ever had parsnip cake? Like carrot cake, but, well, using parsnips instead! I've only had it once, and never made it myself, but it was delicious!I love parsnips

I chop my carrots into teeny cubes in spag bol, not grate them - I like a bit of "substance" to remain.

I will give it a try. Can I use the carrot cake recipe?

Ooh I might have to give that one a go.
I put a lot of grated veggies in everything! Grated zucchini and eggplant in curries is a favourite

Yes, I reckon. Although I tend to add quite a bit of various spices and zests to my carrot cake; I think maybe the parsnip cake wouldn't need as much, so I'd go light on that for a first attempt

Do you know, I knew, I just knew, just as soon as I typed in "spag bol", that this thread would develop a life of it's own.

No pasta sauce in ours -- garlic and tomato puree, beef stock and a bit of red wine, tin of tomatoes of course you can use pork mince.
I've no idea how "authentic" the recipe is, but I've been making it for years, for my daughter it's definitely a comfort food, If she's up against and needs a bit of a "couch" she asks me to make it for her
