I'm assuming that 180 degrees is celsius and not fahrenheit?!
Chicken powder (bouillon?)...

and CARROTS??...man you MUST be daft :-)

Have a good look at any Bolognese Meat Sauce recipe and you'll see that carrot is a primary ingredient. I guess since Bolognese was created and developed there, all Italian and French chefs "MUST be daft".
Just my opinion though....

OK....I give...I went and check on an "authentic" Bolognese Meat Sauce recipe and did find that carrot is prominent. I guess the actual carrots melds in with the sauce and you are left with the sweetness and flavour of the carrot. Mia Culpa...I'm still thinking back to the last TERRIBLE carrot cake (No, I don't carrot all for that type of cake) I had.

I was also under the impression that an authentic Italian meat sauce has some type of a pork product i.e. bone, ham etc in it to make it authentic. I was quite happily pleased to discover that...that is NOT the case. (I keep Kosher and do not use pork products.) This recipe looks like something I will have a go at. Thanks you for posting it. Again, my apologies.....now PLEASE tell this guy hanging around my kitchen that it's ok....i'm forgiven...and he can leave :-)
