Here\u2019s a hearty vegan bolognese that even meat lovers will enjoy. This is a vegan spin on a classic bolognese that combines roasted walnuts and cauliflower (no lentils or soy products!) for a rich, \u201cmeaty\u201d (but meat-free) sauce. Just like a classic rag\u00fa it\u2019s made in a rich tomato sauce with onion, celery, carrot and spices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A vegan bolognese with a meaty texture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who would have thought that you can make the bolognese dish without meat? Of course, I have done this with lentils which is also super yummy, but it doesn\u2019t give you that meaty texture like a true bolognese. And this was even teenager tested. They didn\u2019t even realise that there wasn\u2019t any meat in this recipe. So what a great way to sneak some extra vegetables into a meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secret to the vegan bolognese sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The combination of walnuts and cauliflower make a great meat substitute. To do so is simple. Both ingredients are simply ground together in a food processor<\/a> to get a mince like texture and then roasted in the oven to bring out the flavors. Add some spices and you could even use this for tacos, burritos or other recipes in which you might use mince.<\/p>\n\n\n

I like to serve this with spaghetti, but if you are looking for a low-carb and gluten-free option, try replacing pasta with zucchini noodles. For a gluten-free option, I love brown rice noodles, as they are similar to whole wheat in taste and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n
