I made a wonderful vegetarian mapo tofu that gave me confidence. So I came up with this ultimate bolognese sauce recipe.

I think this can also be made with just onions, dried shiitake mushrooms, fresh shiitake mushrooms and garlic. You may find it useful to make a big batch and freeze it for later use. Recipe by Torepiante

Steps

1

Roughly chop the tomatoes. Finely dice the other vegetables and nuts. (Rehydrate shiitake mushrooms in water before chopping.)
2

In a pot, heat the olive oil and sauté the vegetables in order of onions, garlic then fresh shiitake mushrooms. Add all the other vegetables (except the tomatoes) and continue to fry.
3

Add a pinch of salt. When the vegetables are tender and lightly browned, add the tomatoes. When the tomatoes break down, pour in red wine.
4

Add the bay leaf and simmer until thickened. Give it time to simmer for the flavors to soak in. Add salt and pepper to taste and it is ready.
5

Cook your favorite pasta and serve it with the sauce. Rigatoni is used in the photo.
6

This sauce can be used in lasagna as well. This bolognese sauce also goes well with gnocchi.
