Bolognese pasta is one of the more meaty pasta sauces and hence difficult to replicate with vegan ingredients. With meats of vary textures and a whole lot of condiments going into it, it has a very complex flavour profile. But at the same time is it quite loaded with proteins which is what we need when trying to keep our weight within limits or even when trying to gain muscle. My attempt at a vegan version with mushrooms, red beans, carrots and beetroots, and no added fats except for a teaspoon of olive oil turned out to be winner.
