your Sunday plans: a big, cozy bowl of my Veggie-Packed Bolognese and a new show to crush! I highly recommend Cheer.
I served this rich and chunky meat bolognese over @palminipasta hearts of palm noodles but you can use any favorite depending on your mood 😋I love the way the house smells with the sauce heating on the stove – seriously like a hug for your nose!
