I love this lentil bolognese!! It’s so easy to throw together and is healthy beyond belief. I always come to this recipe when I’m feeling a little down or under the weather, as it’s like a big bowl of warm lentilly hugs!

Instructions

- Heat the sauce with the lentils in through for a further five minutes and then serve up and enjoy.
Notes
I added half a red pepper, some celery and some tomatoes to bulk it out, but it works great with any vegetable to be honest.
Serve with whatever accompaniment you like! I opted for courgetti, but you can have it on anything from pasta to a baked sweet potato!
Let me know how you get on in the comment section! Can’t wait to hear what you think!
