Pasta with vegan bolognese sauce (with mushrooms and walnut)
Okay, perhaps not the most visually impressive meal ever. But it sure was delicious.
I tend to prefer using natural ingredients like mushrooms and nuts rather than artificial / highly processed meat substitutes when cooking vegetarian or vegan meals.
This was not terribly difficult or complex to make (finely chopping the mushrooms took a while though). I definitely recommend giving this recipe a try even if you're not vegan.

I think I've tried that recipe before! Not my favourite, as I don't really like mushrooms (my partner does, hence trying it). We've had more success with green lentils (red ones make it a bit too gritty), and there's a BOSH recipe using vegan sausages (Richmond's work well) which we love. Just in case you're still working out your favourite!
I think I blended the walnuts though, or used a good processor. Too lazy for chopping.
I've had lentils based bolognese at a restaurant before. It wasn't bad, but I prefer this one by far. I guess we all have different tastes :)
Looks great.
