Spaghetti Bolognese

You can make your Bolognese sauce with mushrooms or a vegan meat alternative. This is great for leftovers, as the flavors get better the longer it sits. It also freezes well, so you can batch-cook it.

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 cup mushrooms, chopped, or 1/2 cup vegan ground meat alternative
  • 1 Tbsp tomato paste, or ketchup
  • 1 tsp mixed dried herbs
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 1/2 cups tomato sauce
  • 8 oz spaghetti, cooked according to the package directions and drained

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the mushrooms or ground meat alternative and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste, dried herbs, and garlic powder and toss to combine. Stir in the tomato sauce and cook until heated through.
  • Serve the spaghetti topped with the sauce and a spoonful of parm sprinkle (if using). Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or you can freeze the sauce indefinitely.

Notes

Make your own tomato sauce, or use storebought - there are lots available that use whole foods ingredients now, just check the ingredients for cheese.
Top it off with cheesy sprinkle if you want!
