Tomato and Mushroom Ragu

This vegan Bolognese sauce substitutes meat for juicy mushrooms which are full of flavor. Champignon mushrooms make for a great meat substitute thanks to their chewy consistency and the tendency to absorb liquids and take in flavors, while coloring the rest of the sauce with their own distinct aroma. This dish is best served with spaghetti or tagliatelle pasta.
