Saute veggies and continue to cook for 10 more minutes until they are translucent and soft.
Turn heat to medium and add the Beef Crumbles to the pot. Use a wooden spoon to break the meat into small pieces. After the beef has browned and cooked through add a splash of white wine and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to dislodge all the flavor bits.
To sauce the pasta add a few ladles of the bolognese sauce to a pan over medium-low heat, then add in the 'al dente' pasta and cook for 1-2 minutes so that the pasta can absorb the sauce. Enjoy!
If the sauce is not thick enough continue to cook for another 20-30 minutes before saucing the pasta. Prior to saucing, taste test and adjust salt and pepper if required.
After 40mins, stir to combine then add the plant based milk and optional cream. Stir and cook at a simmer for 15-30 minutes more.
Every 20 minutes or so check that the sauce is not drying out and sticking to the bottom of the pot. If so, add in a half to 1 cup of water and stir to combine.
Cook the wine out for 10 minutes, then add in the pasta sauce. Stir it all together, turn heat to low, then cover with a tight-fitting lid and let cook for a mininum of 40mins.
Recipe Note
Freezing - Bolognese sauce can be frozen for up to 6 months and just needs to thawed and reheated on the stove-top.
Overnight Tip - Cooking the sauce the day before adds a tremendous amount of flavor upon reheating the next day.
