Vegan Bolognese Sauce - This classic Italian dish is just the perfect amount of 'Meaty' and delicious, made with store-bought vegan mince and a flavoursome, homemade tomato sauce.

Instructions
Start by chopping the carrots, courgette, onion and celery into bitesize chunks. If you’re not a fan of chunky onion in your Bolognese, you can of course finely chop it instead.
Cook the spaghetti according to packaging instructions and start on the sauce in the meantime: add the olive oil alongside the onion to a large pan on medium to high heat and fry until the onion starts to become translucent. At this point add the celery, courgette and carrot and fry for another 5 minutes.
Add the pack of Naturli Mince and break it down with a spoon. Fry it for about 5 minutes together with the veggies, stir regularly so it doesn’t burn, then reduce the heat to medium and add the spices.
Pour in the passata, then stir well. If the mince comes out a little dry, simply add a little water to the mix. Add the lemon zest & sweetener and combine well.
Cook for about 20 mins on low heat with the lid on the pan and stir occasionally. In the meantime your spaghetti should be cooked.
Assemble on your pasta plate! I personally love adding a little olive oil & some mighty nutritional yeast for a final touch!
Enjoy and watch the happy faces around the dinner table!
