No Beef bolognese
Servings: 4
Our No Beef bolognese is a plant-based bolognese that we have made with No Beef plant strips 🍝🌿 Our plant-based bolognese is a tasty alternative for the meat-free days, and it is even very easy to make.
We have topped our version with Umami Topping, which can be used as an alternative to parmesan and the other lovely cheeses that you would usually put on bolognese.

4 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper
