Chicken Bolognese Pasta Sauce

Submitted by Jennigator3

"This is a recipe I adapted from a Wolfgang Puck dish I had at Downtown Disney. It tastes sweet because of the carrot, but you can substitute chopped celery for the carrot if you want a more savory sauce. If you make this for a picky eater, chop the veggies in a food processor and they'll barely taste it. It's pretty healthy and it goes great with linguini pasta."

It was only after I started making this that I realised the similarities between this dish and one of our family favourites ( I use sausagemeat instead).<br/>I skipped the wine, as I was making it for a bunch of kids, and made up the difference with stock. I also used a jar of passata for the tomato juice and sauce ( I figured that it amounted to the same thing!). I also threw in a bay leaf-it just adds a depth of flavour.<br/>Served over spaghetti with garlic bread on the side-the kids loved it, and so did I..!!<br/>Made for SPRING PAC 2012.
