"spaghetti bolognese" news and stories

Bolognese sauce is practically defined by the meat (ground pork and veal, and sometimes slab bacon or pancetta) that makes it rich. But blogger veggie num num's recipe contains a vegetable solution that substitutes lentils for meat and creates a well-textured sauce. It's also vegan because instead of the milk that's usually added to a bolognese, she uses canned tomato soup. It's a natural over pasta, but you can also serve the sauce over polenta.

Lentils aren't the only game in town for a vegetable version of bolognese sauce; this mushroom-based sauce is also earthy and flavorful.

Pity Robert Wood. The Scot has a problem: he cooks in his sleep. According to an article in the Sydney Morning Herald, Wood routinely sleepwalks, but the real problem comes when he gets into the kitchen and starts whipping up dishes - and he's not just heating up soup. His wife, Eleanor, has caught him making omelettes and spaghetti bolognese in his sleep. As expected, the couple is a bit worried that Rob is gonna burn down the house. "Every night, I have to think, 'Is Rob going to cook?'" says Eleanor. And no - no mention of Ambien in the piece.
