Very interesting recipe. I don’t usually have any leftover Bolognese, I freeze it for future easy dinners.

Such a great idea! I’m all for recycling leftovers into lunch boxes the next day.

i have this in the fridge right now and i was wondering what to do with it and then i saw this! if i don’t freeze it, i usually make toasted sandwiches with this as the filler. this is a great idea.

What a nice idea. I would do this for dinner for my son. Unfortunately my son’s day care don’t allow anything with eggs in them. But love the idea. Thanks for sharing.

What a great idea. My kids would love this. Little picky foods. Better than the boring old sanswiches

One way of using up leftovers, although in our household the leftovers never survive to the next day. lol.
