Notes
Substitutions
Bison- You can also use ground beef, ground sausage, ground lamb, ground turkey, or ground chicken in this recipe.
Spaghetti- My favorite gluten free spaghetti to use is Jovial's brown rice spaghetti but you can use whatever gluten free brand is your favorite.
Red wine- A dry red wine is best, like a Cabernet. You can omit this if you'd like.
Crushed Tomatoes- You can use canned diced or stewed tomatoes.
Basil- You can use parsley or a combination of both basil and parsley.
Parmesan rind- This is optional.
Tips
If you are in a hurry you can serve this bolognese as soon as the sauce is combined but the flavors really come to gether the longer you let it sit.
Storing and reheating
You can store your leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Microwaving is the fastest way to reheat your leftovers but you can also add them to a pot and reheat them on the stove until warm.
