Bean Bolognese

From EatingWell: December 2006

Fiber-rich beans stand in for the beef and pork in this surprisingly rich-tasting vegetarian take on pasta Bolognese. Without the meat, the dish has only a third of the fat and 80 percent less saturated fat. To make the perfect meal, serve with a peppery arugula salad and warm, crusty Italian bread.

Bean Bolgnese

I made this this week, subbing in cannellini beans I'd cooked myself and homemade vegetable stock for the wine. It's was very good. I've linked it in my "What We Ate" blog this week so my readers can enjoy it too.

Pros: Inexpensive, flavourful, easy to make

Nutritious and delicious! Will make again!

No overwhelming flavors here - just the right blend for a great weekday dish for your family! I felt good about making this for my family because its nutrient rich with veggies, beans and beans. I paired it with arugula salad and roma tomatoes as well as a sour dough roll. Will definitely make this again!

Pros: vegetables, beans, whole grains - your mom would be proud!

A colorful plate! :)

Full of flavor and Satisfying

I am trying to incorporate a meatless meal one day a week. Pasta is a "go to", especially with my kids on the swim team, but typical pasta was getting old. This is a great alternative, full of protein, flavor, and, dare I say, comfort without the guilt! If you like a little heat, a few shakes of red pepper flakes would be a great addition. I will make this again for sure!!

Pros: colorful, flavorful, healthful
