vegetable bolognese recipe

Components:

. Two cups of cooked lentils (or drained canned lentils)

. One large onion, diced finely

. two grated carrots

. Two celery stalks, cut finely

. three minced garlic cloves

. 400g of one can smashed tomatoes

. Two table spoons tomato paste

. One cup of veggie broth and one teaspoon of dried oregano

. One tsp of dried basil

. One-half tsp dried thyme

. Half a teaspoon of optionally spicy red pepper flakes

. To taste, add salt and pepper.

. Two tsp olive oil

. Half a cup of red wine, optional

. 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

. Nutritional yeast or grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

. 400g cooked pasta (spaghetti or your choice ).

 Instructions:

1. Sauté the veggies:

Warm up the olive oil in a big skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped celery, carrots, and onions. Sauté the veggies till they get tender.

2. Include garlic:

When aromatic, add the minced garlic and simmer for one more minute.

3. Tomatoes and Lentils:

Heat the cooked lentils in a pan. Add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and vegetable broth and stir. Blend thoroughly.

4. Add some spice:

Add salt, pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), oregano, basil, and thyme to the mixture. Mix everything together.

5. Reduce:

Pour the red wine into the pan if using it, and boil the stew for 20 to 30 minutes on low heat. As a result, the flavors can combine. Reduce the simmering time if you're not drinking wine.

6. Modify Uniformity:

You can thin out the sauce by adding a small amount of veggie broth. Allow to decrease if it's too thin by simmering a little longer.

7. Prepare pasta:

In the meantime, prepare the pasta as directed on the package.

8. Present:

After the pasta is cooked, dish the vegetarian Bolognese over it. Add some chopped fresh parsley and nutritional yeast or grated Parmesan cheese, if you'd like.

9. Have fun:

Once the pasta and sauce are combined, savor your filling and tasty vegetarian Bolognese!

This lentil-based Bolognese recipe is a filling substitute for classic meat-based versions, and it's high in plant-based protein.
