Mushroom and Aubergine Bolognese

A nice rich meat ragu is very popular in my house and I make sure to always have some in the freezer for a quick dinner. As I have cut back on meat for several reasons, I wanted to master a vegetarian version to rival my Bolognese Sauce for flavour. I realise the very phrase […]

Chorizo and Mushroom Pasta

I usually make a pasta dish once a week, given that they can be quick and comforting. It can be easy to get into a rut so I try to make something different as often as I can. The problem is that I love a tomato based pasta sauce like this simple one but himself loves a […]
