Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce is thickened and flavors are well developed.

Step 8

While the ragu simmers, cook the dairy-free pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 9

Once the ragu is done, remove and discard the bay leaf.

Step 10
