What’s your favourite meal-prep dish?
Well when I first adopted a plant-based diet, I batch-cooked variations of vegan pasta Bolognese on a weekly basis ( I’m pretty sure I’ve tried every single bottled Bolognese sauce in the supermarket 🙈)
It’s just one of the easiest & tastiest ways to pack in lots of nutrients from vegetables, plant protein and carbohydrates, not to mention it’s so freezer-friendly too.
Here is the recipe:
