vegan bolognese

Most people love a good plate of spag bol. But there’s no need to upset our cow friends, you can make a good spaghetti bolognese with lentils or faux meats. .

Before cooking, read up on food safety for people & pets (many human foods are unsafe around animal friends). If making pasta, keep fresh dough away from pets, it can expand in the stomach.

One-Pot Pasta Bolognese (Mississippi Vegan) is an incredible recipe by Timothy, a gifted chef from the USA’s Deep South. This uses lots of veggie and herbs, along with crumbled vegan sausage and cheesy-tasting nutritional yeast, fire-roasted canned tomatoes and a little red wine.

Serve with pasta in plastic-free packaging and vegan Parmesan (conventional Parmesan is not even vegetarian, as it contains a cheese with calf rennet)

lentil bolognese

This lentil bolognese (ElaVegan) is ideal if you prefer more natural lentils, or are on a low budget (lentils are cheap!) Packed with protein, this recipe ups the flavour by beginning with a base of onion, celery, carrots and mushrooms, then adding spices and garlic.

mushroom lentil beetroot bolognese

This mushroom beet bolognese (The First Mess) is another very natural recipe, made with affordable veggies. Mushrooms give a meaty mouth-feel and earthy beets sweeten up the sauce.
