As the nights get colder and winter approaches, we all want an evening meal that’s hearty and filling. My mushroom, celery root spinach ragu definitely fits the bill.
Made with healthy, whole-food ingredients, this tasty vegan version of an Italian classic will fill your belly and warm your soul!
Ragù was created by Alberto Alvisi in the 18th century. He was the cook to the Cardinal of Imola. The success of his recipe soon took off and was replicated throughout Italy.
Traditionally, ragu is a meat-based sauce served with pasta. In this recipe however, ragu goes vegan and mushrooms do a wonderful job of giving lots of earthy flavor and meaty bite.
In our house, we like to eat this ragu served with a big helping of creamy mashed potatoes or polenta, but feel free to stick with tradition and serve it up with your favorite pasta.

Why not just have it as a soup? It looks delicious on it’s own or do you think it really needs to be served over something? thanks.

Hi, I cooked the recipe, I added red and green peppers instead of carrots, added tomato paste instead of tomatoes and used half a cup organic apple vinegar instead of wine. It is delicious!!! No oil or salt, it is very tasty and rich! Thank you for the recipe!!!
