As the days grow cooler and the leaves begin to turn, there’s nothing quite as comforting as a hearty meal shared around the family table. This Classic Bolognese with Fall Vegetables is a cozy twist on the traditional Italian meat sauce, incorporating the best of autumn’s produce. Whether you’re gathering for Sunday dinner or planning a weeknight meal, this recipe is a delightful way to celebrate the season and bring everyone together with a dish that warms both the body and soul.
This rich and flavorful Bolognese pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad topped with a light vinaigrette, as well as some crusty garlic bread for sopping up the sauce. You might also consider serving it over spaghetti or any of your favorite pasta shapes. For an extra-special touch, a sprinkling of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top will add a delicious finish.
