Vegetable Bolognese

You can never have too many bolognese recipes. This one uses vegetables only. Choose your favourite vegan cheese if that is your vibe. Cut the vegetables all roughly the same size so they finish cooking together. This bolognese sauce is also great with rice or topped with a fried egg.
