This pasta with vegetable Bolognese sauce is perfect for a vegetarian menu. Instead of regular pasta, it uses cheese-filled tortellini, making it very filling and delicious. The sauce is made with porcini mushrooms. Rich and flavorful, paired with tomatoes and other vegetables, they make a wonderful substitute for ground meat. Boil the sauce and stir in the separately cooked tortellini. Add a little fragrant basil, and enjoy.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Soak the mushrooms for 5 minutes in 1 cup of hot water. Strain through a sieve lined with a paper towel. Set aside the liquid and rinse the mushrooms.
  2. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package directions. Set aside 1 cup of water and discard the rest.

  3. Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the mushrooms, carrots, celery, onion, and thyme and puree. Heat 4 tablespoons of butter in a large Dutch oven or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until they begin to brown, about 4 minutes.
  4. Add the wine and mushroom liquid; bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the liquid has reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add the tomatoes to the pan and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Add the basil, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and the tortellini. Stir to coat the tortellini with the sauce, adding some of the cooking water if necessary to thin the sauce.
