Ingredients

  • 2 cups mushrooms
  • A drizzle of olive oil
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 3 chopped garlic cloves
  • 1 chopped medium carrot
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • ½ cup red wine

  • 1 can peeled tomatoes
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Chopped coriander to taste or basil
  • Grated parmesan cheese to taste

Instructions

  • Put a dash of olive oil back in the pan and add the onion and garlic and saute until the onion is soft and translucent.
  • Add the carrot and stir well.
  • Add the tomatoes and stir again well. Cook until the tomato begins to soften.
  • Add the paprika and the red wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the alcohol begins to evaporate and the stew begins to gain more consistency.
  • Lower the heat to medium and add the rosemary and the peeled tomatoes and stir well, crushing the tomatoes as they cook.
  • Add salt and pepper and stir well.
  • Add the previously reserved mushrooms and mix into the sauce.
  • Pre-cook the pasta and add it to the bolognese.
  • Stir well and serve.
  • Sprinkle with coriander and parmesan.

Notes

For an even more decadent bolognese, you can add chopped red peppers to your stew.
 
A little tomato paste also gives it an extra flavor!
 
To make it vegan, replace the parmesan with vegan parmesan or nutritional yeast.
 
This recipe also works with meat.
