Vegetarian Pasta Bolognese Sauce Recipe

Written by Published on Updated on June 5, 2019 in Mediterranean cuisine

Hello everyone!!!  How was your Easter?  I hope it was a lovely one spent with friends and family. 🙂  I will be celebrating Easter this Sunday April 28th, our Easter is usually a week later. 🙂  

The weather continues to be good to us, and we all do hope that it continues into next week.  I decided to go with this delish Vegetarian recipe for today, I had all the ingredients.  Simple enough, and not much time spent in the kitchen.  The last time I made this recipe I was so amazed at the color combination Red, Green, Orange. 🙂  This is exactly what I have been learning in the Food Photography workshop I have been following.

Color combination plays a big role in Food Photography, so keep that in mind for those Food Bloggers who are starting out now.  🙂  When I started food blogging 2 years ago, I had no idea that there are so many little tips and tricks. 🙂   

Enjoy the recipe!!!  

Have a great week!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
