Ok ok so as someone who eats meat – I am freaking impressed with how this recipe turned out you guys. Making a vegan bolognese sauce has been one of the most requested recipes on the blog for dinner. And this one surely delivers flavor and taste and it is super easy to make.

I love that this recipe is one the whole family will enjoy too. Jord, Ez and I all gobbled it up and I served it over some brown rice spaghetti. It is really good over anything so feel free to use any noodles or veggie noodles you want. If you want to make this paleo-friendly, then use some veggie noodles.

This recipe is one of those that will be on our weekly rotation for things to make for an easy dinner. It is mushroom based too, which you’d never know! Plus I add in some walnuts for texture and it’s not one of those vegan recipes that will have meat eaters complaining either. I promise this is one of those recipes that will satisfy anyone and everyone. Plus it tastes so good served with some garlic bread on the side too – YUM!If you make this recipe, let me know in the comments below! I hope you guys love it as much as we do!!
