Chef's Notes

Make Vegan Mushroom Bolognese: omit the cream and add plant milk. I use unsweetened Homemade Cashew Milk. It thickens this recipe beautifully. If using store-bought plant milk, you may need to cook the sauce a little longer to thicken it. Also, use vegan wine and an egg-free pasta like fettuccini, linguini or tube shape pasta.

This recipe delivers. Perfect directions led to easy stress-free execution. I went the heavy cream way. Wow!

Audrey Weinberg ★ 5.0/5

Delicious and great texture too!

Halyna ★ 5.0/5

Looks delicious. Will try soon! Have three comments: instead of dried porcini I buy dried mushrooms from the Carpathian Mountains (in Poland called Tatra Mtns). They are more expensive but also much more flavorful than porcini. Available in many Eastern European delis/markets. Also, my mother always (true of most Eastern European cooks) simmered the dried mushrooms for 20-30 minutes, making sure there was plenty of liquid, which always turns a nice dark brown. Make sure to wash dried mushrooms with in cold water before using and later strain carefully. Lastly, I have used regular egg-based noodles when papardelle are not available.
