Description

This slightly spicy Bolognese sauce is so flavorful you won’t notice it’s dairy-free, it doesn’t need parmesan!

Scale
  • 2 T. olive oil
  • 1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  1. Saute onions, carrots & celery in a medium saucepan on medium heat in the olive oil until soft.
  2. Add the garlic and saute 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  3. Add meat & parsley, cook until meat is browned.
  4. Add mushrooms & wine, crank the heat to high and cook for a minute.
  5. Add tomatoes, turn the heat to low.
  6. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg & water.
  7. Let simmer, covered for an hour.

Notes

I use Bob Evan’s hot Italian sausage. It comes in 1 pound tubes, so I quadruple this recipe and freeze the rest for later.
