    Fantastic recipe, so tasty and a wonderful texture, hard to believe there is no meat involved. A favourite dish.

    I cooked this for my family, all bowls were empty even the 5 year olds. I didn’t have cream so used natural yoghurt, I didn’t add Parmesan as my daughter is funny with cheese. I served it with Rigatoni. A great recipe I’d cook again.

    Hi. I cooked this and loved it! Thank you Jodie N! The recipe isn't showing on the app so I can't save it. Will this be sorted soon? Thank you.

    A little on the plain side for us, but still nice, the kids wolfed it down. We thought it was missing a little hit of acid and gave the final pot a squeeze of lemon juice and that really seemed to bring it to life.

    Hi Angela! I suggest just leaving it out entirely :) the purpose of the cream is really there for its fattiness to round out the flavours and I think yogurt will be too sour and might confuse it a bit! I’ve eaten this many times without the cream and it’s still incredibly delicious! X

    I too have been burned a few too many times by veggie bolognese, ragú and lasagne, so I had honestly not expected this to blow me away. I am pleased to have been proven so wrong. This dish packs a flavour punch and the parpadalle works beautifully with this nutty, earthy, umami sauce. Perfect for these colder winter months. Wish I had taken a photo but we were far too busy tucking right in! 😋

    This was absolutely delicious! Our first vegetarian bolognaise and our three kids wolfed it down. We used half for dinner and have frozen the rest.

    Was so delicious - especially as leftovers too. Strongly recommend trying this, and much nicer than processed vegan "meat".

    Really really delish. Will definitely be doing this again! Cooked for four and found that the amount of ragu I ended up with was enough for six -maybe more! All good - half the ragu is now in my freezer 🤤

    A great twist on a traditional veggie bolognese that doesn’t involve buying a meat substitute. The cauliflower and walnut mix had the perfect texture and the miso gave the sauce an umami flavour. To make it vegan for a family member i substituted Parmesan for nooch but actually I would not recommend doing that!

    This is a great recipe. Barbecued some aubergine slices and layered it making it into a bake.

    This is one of my favourite Mob recipes! Absolutely delicious and fairly easy to make. I liked to batch cook this one and pop it in the freezer :)

    At what point do you freeze it? Before or after adding the cream??
