Mushroom & Walnut Bolognese

A deeply savory, plant-forward take on the traditional Italian ragù that delivers all the “meaty” satisfaction of a slow-simmered bolognese. We’ve crafted a rich, umami-dense base using a finely minced blend of earthy mushrooms and toasted walnuts, sautéed until caramelized and deglazed with a splash of red wine. Tossed with GF Jovial brown rice penne for a perfect al dente texture, this hearty meal is finished with fresh herbs and an optional dusting of aged Parmesan for a creamy, salty finish.

Ingredients: GF Jovial brown rice penne, mushrooms, walnuts, tomato, onion, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, herbs, sea salt, black pepper (optional Parmesan cheese).
