brassicas vegatable bolognese
Brassicas are about the healthiest group of vegetables you can eat! This is a vegetarian/vegan dish that is so delicious you wont miss the meat! Please substitute other vegetables from the brassicas family in any amounts you chose- most any cruciferous ones will do. I added half and half and Parmesan, but you can substitute with soy milk and vegan cheese for vegan diets. This version was delicious with home made ricotta and a few fried leaves of kale for garnish. Serve over pasta and Enjoy!
