Vegetarian spaghetti bolognese recipe Posted on 13 June 2012 With the colder weather now upon us I cannot face another salad! I need the comforting bowls of warmth and happiness in my hands and in my belly. A vegetarian spaghetti bolognese hits the spot. Replacing the meat with good quality mushrooms worked beautifully in my usual recipe and I still got my lovely tomato pasta fix I wanted. Vegetarian spaghetti bolognese (Serves four) Ingredients 2 medium onions 2 cloves of garlic 1 and a half punnets of mushrooms (I used porcinni ) 2 teaspoons balsamic glaze or balsamic vinegar 1 large jar of organic tomato puree 2 teaspoons brown organic sugar salt pepper some fresh herbs – basil, oregano, thyme 500g pasta, cooked (I use rice pasta) Method Fry onion in some olive oil and season with salt. Once it starts to change colour add a teaspoon of sugar, then add garlic and lightly brown then remove all from the pan. In the same pan fry chopped up mushrooms and then add some balsamic glaze or balsamic vinegar and cook the mushrooms through. Now add the cooked onion and garlic back into the pan with the mushrooms. Add a jar of tomato puree and add sugar, salt, pepper and fresh herbs (basil, thyme and oregano) and simmer until flavors infuse. Serve over cooked pasta (I use a rice pasta). Sprinkle with cheese.
