Easy Stovetop Bolognese

Easy Stovetop Bolognese

I’d originally planned to make this Easy Stovetop Bolognese in my Instant Pot, but after making it a couple times, not only did I realize that it’s not any easier to make in an Instant Pot, but it actually tastes much more flavorful when it’s made on the stovetop. As much as I love my Instant Pot, sometimes it’s just not the right guy for the job!

Easy Stovetop Bolognese

I loooooove a good Bolognese, and not only is my stovetop version completely delicious, but it’s incredibly easy to make! I love serving this with zoodles (as shown in these pictures), spaghetti squash, roasted veggies, or even Cappellos grain-free fettuccine!

I also think the leftovers of this Easy Stovetop Bolognese taste even better the next day, so making a double batch is definitely a great idea! If you know me, that’s the key to how I make this lifestyle sustainable without spending all day, everyday in my kitchen – I always make a double batch of everything!

If slow cooking is more your style, check out my incredibly easy Slow Cooker Bolognese!
