Ingredients

  1. Flaky sea salt
  2. 8 ounces dried pasta (I like paccheri)
  3. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  4. 6 scallions, chopped
  5. 1 carrot, peeled and grated
  6. 1 stick celery, finely chopped
  7. 8 ounces frozen plant-based mince (ground meat alternative; I like Linda McCartney’s Vegemince)
  8. 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  9. 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  10. 1 cup red wine (I like Pinot Noir)
  11. One 14-ounce can chopped tomatoes
  12. 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  13. 2 bay leaves
  14. Pinch flaky sea salt
  15. Grind of black pepper
  16. Handful of fresh basil leaves
  17. Vegan Parmesan, grated, optional

Instructions

  1. For the pasta: Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil.
  2. For the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or wide sauté pan. Add the scallions, carrot and celery and give it a stir. Stir in the plant-based mince, nutmeg and garlic, then stir in the red wine and bring to a bubbling simmer. Add in the tomatoes, then the veg broth and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper, then vigorously simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often.
  3. Whilst the sauce is simmering put in the pasta to cook until al dente (as per packet instructions). Drain the pasta.
  4. Remove the bay leaves from the sauce. Add the pasta to the Bolognese sauce and toss well to combine.
  5. To serve: Divide among bowls and garnish with the basil leaves and vegan Parmesan if using.

Who makes up these ridiculous times. Total time 20 minutes. Take that long to gather the ingredients not to mention chopping and peeling and measuring.
