VEGAN CHEESE POLENTA BOLOGNESE!

A perfect comfort autumn dish.

  • Chef Jana
Growing up this was the ultimate winter meal in our large southern Brazilian family. The polenta was made in many different ways but my grandma's cheesy polenta bolognese always was the best recipe for polenta that I have ever had - and made! Because it is so easy to make that even the most inexperienced of the cooks will master it like a pro! I hope you guys enjoy it! Lots of Love!
Check it out!

Enough chitchat! Here is the recipe!
