Today's dish is more on the autumn season side because bolognese is very versatile and can be adjust to any seasons easily. Personally, I find the vegan versions more filling than the original non-vegan variations. As bolognese is a hearty and chunky sauce filled with meat originating from Bologna, Italy. It's best to serve it over spaghetti, but any kind of pasta will do it. My secret ingredient is the wild mushrooms that my grandpa gathered in the forest, they give some meaty chewiness and earthy flavor to the sauce.
As always, it's easy to put together - you will need only one pot!
