About

I have to say this before the traditionalists come after me. A Bolognese, for me, is one dish that I love, a meal that every family turns to, and a great one that can really stay with you for years to come. One that requires time to prepare and cook. But what if you don’t have time? Well this Bolognese, or as I like to call it, Linguine Notabolognese, will hopefully give you the Bolognese feeling but quicker, and vegan.
