#FoodWasteFeast - All-The-Veggies #Bolognese

March 4, 2022

"A Bolognese-style sauce that uses up all the veggies in the fridge is a big win in our book! Perfect for cold weather and clearing out your entire crisper drawer. It’s by no means an authentic Bolognese but its feels and tastes rich and meaty, whether you include meat or not. I’m a big fan of stashing a big pot in your fridge to ladle onto pasta, polenta, roasted veggies, rice, eggs, or whatever else you like.

This one used up the following items that had been hanging around the kitchen:

- 5 slightly wrinkled tomatoes and a half-opened jar of tomato sauce that’s been sitting in the fridge for….weeks?
- A tub of verging-on-too-old mushrooms
- An entire head of broccoli (I often use cauliflower here as well)
- Two carrots that just needed a few brown spots trimmed off
- An entire head of celery

Huge, right? I can’t think of many more dishes that welcome everything from root veggies to brassicas to any kind of mushroom, plus tomatoes in any form whatsoever. Plus they can be old, wrinkly, shriveled, and generally not-great-looking at all, but as long as they’re not moldy or rotten, you can get some good use out of them in this sauce!"
