Eggplant Bolognese image

Italian recipes are my favorite especially when eggplant is included. This is a hearty bolognese and a paleo recipe that is prepared in one pot! You can add any of your favorite vegetables such as peppers or zucchini. You serve over spaghetti squash, zucchini noodles, or your favorite pasta! Enjoy!

This recipe was a waste of time. The eggplant did not add anything to the sauce and the overall dish was very bland.

I found this recipe to be too complicated. I think I would have preferred a simpler recipe for bolognese sauce.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more traditional bolognese sauce.
