*2-4 cloves garlic

👩🏻‍🍳 DIRECTIONS
1. Boil water in a large pot for the pasta, salt if you wish, and cook pasta according to package directions.
2. Add garlic and walnuts to a food processor and pulse until evenly crumbled.
3. Add celery, carrot, and onion to food processor and pulse until evenly chopped. Do not overprocess to the point it becomes mushy.
4. Remove items from food processor and set aside. Add mushrooms and pulse until evenly chopped into very small pieces.
5. In a pan over medium high heat, add a little water (or oil) and bolognese mix. Saute for 5-7 minutes allowing the high water content of the mushrooms to cook down.
6. Add all sauce ingredients and mix. Simmer for up to 5 minutes to 2 hours (ideally 30 mins).
7. Plate your pasta, add sauce, top with fresh herbs like basil or parsley, add your favorite hot peppers, and enjoy!
