This Vegan Spaghetti Bolognese BLEW MY MIND! It is so incredibly light, juicy and interesting to eat you really won´t miss meat. At all!
So, for this vegan Bolognese I used lentils and mushrooms. Along with the standard sofrito base, all of these vegetables add their own textures and flavors which is why this dish is so interesting to eat!
For the lentils for this vegan Bolognese lentils you can use green or brown lentils.
And for the mushrooms for this vegan Bolognese mushroom and lentils both white and brown mushrooms work.
Sauce itself is vegan but if you can’t skip the real parmesan cheese then this can also be vegetarian Bolognese. Vegan parmesan is not always easy to find always.
I don´t know why but for the pasta for this vegetarian spaghetti Bolognese recipe I like to use combination of linguine and thin spaghetti. I like the combination and it looks cute too!
Just before serving you can also add some freshly chopped parsley. That way you will add some more color to this vegetarian spaghetti Bolognese mushroom.
