Vegan Bolognese

Vegan Bolognese

We’re getting right into the winter weather here in Perth and I’m finding myself leaning towards comfort foods rather than fresh salads and the like. Some traditional comfort foods can be a little unhealthy, which is why I love remaking my old favourite wintery classics with a vegan twist. My go-to dinner at the moment has been this mushroom bolognese – it’s sure to impress your vegan and non-vegan family and friends alike! I hope you love it!
