We all know of spaghetti with bolongonese sauce, so i was brain storming, and i began to wonder how about we make the sauce more healthier with veggies? And what if we change the pasta to long grain rice. And boom we made this, trust me, if you try this you are never going back to plain old bolongonese sauce🤓
