Vegetable Bolognese Sauce (Vegan/Vegetarian) instructions

1. Prepare the ingredients as per the ingredients list above. Place Mushrooms in a Food processor and blitz lightly. Dont over blitz creating a paste..

2. In a pot, add olive oil. Add onions and saute for 2mins, add the garlic and saute for another 5 mins. Add the leek and continue to saute on low another minute. Add the carrot, Mushrooms, herbs and Spices & leaves (I added a chilli also). Stir and fry on a high flame, stirring regularly for approx 5 minutes..

3. Add the tomato can and passata, stir and sit to simmer for approx 30mins. At the 25minute mark, throw in the cherry tomatoes. After approx 30mins (or when Carrots soft), thrown in the Peas and Spinach and stir in. This only needs to cook for another minute or so and switch off and serve.

It's great for gut health, too.

Skin-Care Tips For extra umami flavor I added miso paste and used soy sauce instead of salt.

As a vegetarian, I was tempted to keep the traditional parmesan cheese and milk in this sauce.

If you consume dairy products, by all means swap these into the sauce for an awesome vegetarian bolognese sauce.

Instead, I tried using nutritional yeast and oat milk.
