Vegan Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe

By: Adam Guthrie

My mum’s spaghetti bolognese was the best! I could have eaten it every night as a kid; it was my favourite dinner. This is my wholefood plant-based version. I replace the mince with carrot and celery as they give a great depth of flavour and delicious mince-like texture. Enjoy!
