Pasta with vegan bolognese sauce

Vegan Bolognese sauce, easy, cheap and delicious. I’ve got lentil cans to stop a train and I’ve been wanting to make some traditional vegan meat recipes for a while, but adding the difficulty of not using tofu, or seitan.

Taking ideas from recipes circulating on the internet, I saw that the animal protein substitutes most often used in these cases are nuts, mushrooms and lentils. So what have I done: To the vegetable base of the traditional bolognese I have added all these ingredients, let’s see what happens. If it didn’t come out, I would eat it, not publish it and nothing would happen here. The result is spectacular!

1.- Even my husband, a very carnivorous man and not very fond of making up canonical recipes from his country’s cuisine, has gone crazy.

2.- I used 2 cans from the pantry in a more fun way and it worked out better than usual.

As ragout is normally associated with pasta, here I have suggested it with pappardelle, but it could be given the same thousand uses as any fried food: with rice, with zucchini noodles, as a filling for arancini or supplì, mixed with boiled and mashed potatoes and then grilled in the oven, etc.

 

Buon appetito!
