Lentil Bolognese Sauce:
Serves 4-5
Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped
2 celery sticks, thinly sliced
2 carrots, grated
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbsp olive oil
2/3 cup red lentils
1 can (14oz) chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 cups vegetable broth
1 tsp Italian spices
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil and sauté the carrots, onion, garlic, and celery until they are tender– about 5 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a quick boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until the lentils are soft and the sauce has thickened.
Serve over hot pasta with a generous helping of Parmesan cheese.
