    Spaghetti is one of the oldest classical dishes worldwide. No matter where you are or how you prepare it, we can agree that it’s a versatile dish that is a great go-to when your craving pasta! There are so many reasons to love a good spaghetti dish, including:

    • Kid-friendly
    • Easy to whip up
    • Brief prep time
    • Can be meal-prepped
    • Refrigerates and reheats well
    • Full of wonderful flavors

    Variations on Vegan Spaghetti Bolognese

    Well this dish is such a classic that it has had many spin offs over time lol. I’m not going to bore you with all the possible ways you can change up this dish. There are some things you already know and some things that should be left to the imagination!

    Instead of the meat substitute, you can choose a vegetable instead. For example, a popular vegan take on spaghetti Bolognese is to add mushrooms. The texture of mushrooms suits that softness of the pasta and mushrooms marry so well in flavor with tomato sauce. They also take on any flavors from your spices which always a good thing.

    Don’t like mushrooms? No worries, there are a ton of other options. You can choose other veggies like shredded carrots for some sweetness, or steamed broccoli bits for a crunch. You can even use olives, green or black, in place of the meat substitute or vegetables. That’s another great thing about this dish, you can get as creative as you’d like!


    Tips for a Great Spaghetti Bolognese

    To start with, you need to know that a good Bolognese sauce has a life of its own. By that I mean that the sauce has to be unique. My recipe calls for a ready-made jar of pasta sauce, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make it yourself. You should also know that this sauce can be made in quite a few different ways with varying ingredients.

    You can use red wine or red vinegar in the base of the sauce along with Worcestershire sauce. Sugar is also an option to help balance out flavors. The star, of course, is the tomato sauce and after that the garlic. From there the herbs and spices are your choice, go crazy with your favorite flavors but keep them balanced.

    • Precook you spaghetti and drain it well.
    • Either scoop the sauce onto your pasta or pour your pasta into your Bolognese sauce and toss well.
    • Best served warm.
    • Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to three days.
    • Serve with garlic toast or bread or a side salad of your choice.
    • Garnish with fresh herbs because the mix of dried and fresh herbs gives it that extra kick of flavor!
