Blenditarian Dark Chocolate Bolognese Sauce with Spaghetti

About the Recipe:  We added a healthy Blenditarian touch to this classic recipe, adding some nutritious mushrooms in place of all meat. The recipe makes about 8 cups, so it can be used to prepare several meals or be frozen until needed.  It does have a long cooking time, so it would make a great slow cooker recipe. One taste of that rich thick sauce takes you right to Italy for dinner. Just add some of that delicious crunchy Italian bread.
Delizioso!

Recipe Inspired by:  Chef Maria Dietz, Sous Chef, The Hotel Hershey
The recipe is a family favorite from her grandmother, Rosalia Natale.

Cook’s Note:  If fresh herbs aren’t available, use dry herbs as desired.
Recipe can also be prepared vegetarian by eliminating the meat and adding more mushrooms.
A Blenditarian recipe reduces the amount of meat, replacing it with mushrooms, which makes the recipe healthier.

Comfort Recipe:  There is nothing better than one of those special comforting recipes from Grandma.  We enjoyed meeting Grandma Rosalia at the Hershey Chef Demonstration and watching Chef Maria prepare this family favorite dish using all ground beef in place of mushrooms.
