Penne with Mushroom Bolognese

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.
