Cooler weather demands bolognese. It’s comfort food at its finest. It’s filling, easy to make and absolutely delicious piled high over spaghetti.
I’ve made this probably a hundred times over the years with all different veggies mixed in. The onion, pepper mix is probably my favorite, but today I changed it up to include carrots and zucchini since we had a lot leftover this week.
This is one of those dishes Amelia will eat even though there is sauce on the meat and all the foods are mixed together into one bowl. I still don’t get the fear of different foods touching and why all of a sudden she’ll eat this, but I’m not going to argue!
We all love this dinner and I promise you will too!
