mushroom spaghetti bolognese

for pasta and mushroom lovers, this recipe of mushroom spaghetti bolognese is a treat.

i did check many recipes online for bolognese and finally came up with my own version.

i have tried to kept the ingredients authentic as in a bolognese, except for carrots and white or red wine.

i did not have white or red wine, so have added balsamic vinegar instead.

the bolognese sauce is made first and then the spaghetti are tossed in the sauce.  here i have used organic durum wheat spaghetti.

the result was smooth, flavorful and spiced pasta dish that even beat the gourmet food that one gets outside. the mushrooms adds a lot of texture to the dish and combines with the smoothness of spaghetti very well.

so try this mushroom spaghetti bolognese at home and you won’t miss a gourmet pasta dish ever. serve the spaghetti with a salad and soup by the side.
