Hello again! I have another delicious recipe for you. You see, I was really in the mood of eating something that would have a taste from Italy. What best dish for that other than Bolognese? However, I made a few changes to the original recipe. That’s right, this recipe is vegetarian. But it can turn into a vegan recipe if you replace the pasta for a vegan one so it’s a double plus! I basically used green lentils as a replacement for the minced meat and, since it doesn’t have a strong taste, you can add basically the same spices you would to a traditional recipe of Bolognese.

What you will need:

– A cup of green lentils

– One carrot

– Cauliflower

– One can of peeled chopped tomatoes

– Tomato pulp

– Oregano

– Basil

– Saffron

– Salt

– Fuzzily pasta (or any kind of pasta you might prefer)

– Powdered garlic

– Half an onion

– Olive oil

Step one: heat one pan with water and pour the lentils in there so they can cook. Do the same for the pasta. If you feel like it drop a pinch of salt in each of them.

Step two: It’s time to cut the vegies! First cut the carrot into thin slices and put the slices in a frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Turn the heat in a low temperature. It’s important that the carrots go first because they take more time to soften than the rest. Dice the onion and join them with the carrot. Lastly cut three stalks of cauliflower in thin slices as well and pour them in the frying pan. Now you can rise the heat into a medium.

Step three: add to the veggies one teaspoon of powdered garlic half a teaspoon of saffron and stir everything together. At this point the lentils must be cooked so drain the water and add them to the pan.

Step four: add two tablespoons so that it can incorporated with the vegies. Next add a full can of peeled chopped tomato to the veggies and stir it. Now you can add the rest of the spices. Add two teaspoons of oregano and other two teaspoons of basil. After mixing everything, give it a taste and if you feel like it needs a little bit more flavour you may add a pinch of salt.

Step five: Drain the pasta and add it to the lentils and veggies and it’s ready to serve!

When you eat this you will be surprised how filling it is!
