]]> If you’re a vegan, but still can’t imagine living without cheese, tofu is probably one of the essential foods on your menu. If you’re always looking for new recipes with this protein-rich food, this tasty plant-based bolognese deserves a spot in your recipe book.

Teen food blogger Lenny shared this amazing idea on her blog Vegamelon and made us see bolognese in a whole new light. She transformed this meat-based sauce into something else entirely, by adding one special ingredient to the mix.

Tofu is often seen as a popular meat alternative, so this switch makes a lot of sense. Give it a shot and find out how mouth-watering it is on your own!
