Bolognese sauce is a popular Italian sauce which is also known as Ragu alla bolognese or simply ragu is a meat based sauce originated from Bologna, Italy. Hence this sauce got its name as Bolognese sauce, this sauce is cooked usually by slow cooking though this dish asks for several cooking techniques. Usually served with tagliatelle pasta, this meaty sauce makes an excellent sauce to enjoy with pasta. But my today's recipe goes for a delicious Vegetarian version and completely vegan as well.Am not a vegetarian but i dont cook red meat especially beef. Obviously this vegetarian version is definitely a great alternative for this sauce lovers. When i went through google, i saw many versions of this vegetarian sauce, i finally decided to go with my own way of preparing this vegetable loaded sauce.
Though this sauce can be prepared simply with a mix of finally chopped vegetables, i prepared this vegetarian sauce with a combination of vegetables and black beans. The addition of black beans turned out this sauce more interesting and nutritious. However you can also add red kidney beans instead of black beans. With simple ingredients and loads of vegetables,this interesting vegetarian bolognese sauce will definitely please everyone's tastebuds when served along with the pastas of your choice. This post is going to this week's blogging marathon as am running this week's theme with One sauce two dishes.
1cup Onions(chopped)
