Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1 onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/3 cup mushrooms
72g
1/3 cup tomato puree
72g
1/2 cup red wine
120g
1/3 cup vegetable broth
72g
2 cans canned tomatoes
800g
12 oz pasta
340g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Finely chop the mushrooms.
2. Cook the Pasta:
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Add a generous amount of salt to the boiling water.
- Add the spaghetti pasta (12 oz) and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Once cooked, drain the pasta and set aside.
3. Prepare the Mushroom Bolognese Sauce:
- In a large skillet or saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
- Stir in 1/3 cup of tomato puree and cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring it’s well combined with the mushrooms and onions.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of red wine, increase the heat slightly, and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes until the wine reduces a bit.
- Add 1/3 cup of vegetable broth and the contents of 2 cans of canned tomatoes.
- Stir well, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon if needed.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and develops rich flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Combine and Serve:
- Once the sauce has thickened, taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
- Add the cooked and drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss well to coat the pasta evenly with the mushroom bolognese sauce.
- Serve the mushroom bolognese spaghetti immediately, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil if desired. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Choose a variety of mushrooms such as cremini, shiitake, or portobello for a richer flavor profile.

- You can use any type of pasta, though spaghetti is a classic choice.

- Allow the sauce to simmer for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

- For a thicker sauce, let it reduce uncovered, stirring occasionally.

- If you don't consume alcohol, you can substitute the red wine with an equal amount of vegetable broth and a splash of balsamic vinegar for added depth of flavor.

Mushroom bolognaise with spaghetti is a delightful alternative to traditional meat-based bolognese. Its rich, savory flavors and satisfying texture make it a hit with both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Serve it with a sprinkle of Parmesan and a side of garlic bread for a complete and comforting meal.
