Bolognese Sauce is no doubt one of the best sauces for pastas. It is usually made with meat and you can see a classic meat Bolognese Sauce here, but if you are searching for a vegetarian version, the Bolognese sauce works very well with mushrooms too. We are really delighted by its taste and texture so I highly recommend trying this Mushroom Bolognese too. It definitely worth all the effort and everybody will ask for more.

I’ve never tried a bolognese with just mushrooms. I know that I’d adore it, but unfortunately I’m the only one in my family that eats the earthy goodies. Thanks for passing along the recipe though. It’s beautiful.
That sauce sounds soooo good!
Mushrooms give such a meaty quality! This looks delicious! : )
