Pasta, risotto and more — and where the gentler swaps are. Sorted from gentlest, and scored with the GASP Score.

Gentle Spaghetti Bolognese
1.6/ 10Go for it
A rich, slow-simmered bolognese that skips the onion and garlic but keeps all the savoury depth — built on our onion-free stock, garlic-infused oil and a little tomato paste. A weeknight staple the whole table can share.

Gentle Spaghetti & Meatballs
1.7/ 10Go for it
Soft, herby beef-and-pork meatballs in a gentle tomato sauce over white spaghetti — onion- and garlic-free, but full of flavour. A proper family dinner that won't cost you the night.
