Savory Mushroom and Walnut Bolognese | HOW TO MAKE VEGAN BOLOGNESE

walnuts

🥗Healthier: ground flaxseed

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Ground flaxseed is lower in calories and provides omega-3 fatty acids.

nutritional yeast

🥗Healthier: brewer's yeast

💰Cheaper: parmesan cheese

Brewer's yeast is less expensive and adds a similar umami flavor.

Heat olive oil in a pot or wide saucepan over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and garlic, then sauté for 2-3 min.

Add cremini mushrooms to the mix and cook for about 6-8 min. During this time, the mushrooms will release their moisture.

Once the mushroom mixture has dried up and is fairly dry, add all the herbs and spices.

Add the canned peeled tomatoes and give everything a good mix.

Allow the mixture to simmer over medium-low heat for 20 min, occasionally stirring.

Toss in the chopped walnuts and cook for an additional 5 min.

Remove from heat and serve with cooked pasta. Enjoy!
