Lentil Bolognese ('meaty' dinner idea)

Our lentil bolognese has a bold taste and meaty texture; it's packed with flavor and umami, and it's hearty, nutritious, and satisfying.

It's an excellent recipe for those trying to incorporate more plant-based protein and fiber into their diet, and it's delicious with pasta, grains, gnocchi, and lasagna.

⭐️ INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion chopped
1 rib celery chopped
1 large carrot chopped
1 sprig rosemary + 1 bay leaf optional
8 ounces mushrooms grated with large holes of a box grater
⅓ cup dry white wine or vegetable broth
4 cups vegetable stock
24 ounces (one glass bottle) tomato puree or passata
1 cup dry lentils, green or brown
1 teaspoon salt
2 twists of black pepper
⅓ cup milk, we use unsweetened soy milk
¼ cup soy sauce with reduced sodium

I won’t lie, as a Chinese person who loves Italian food, I have never seen soy sauce used in an Italian dish….

[rozchristopherson]

I make a similar sauce but I don’t use mushrooms in it. Instead, I used canned butternut squash.

Where is the link to the recipe please?

[LovelyQueen_]

This look great. But I don’t have the carrots and other stuff. Just onion, the sauces and pasta. lol

[TheRoseChunsa]

Soy sauce in Italian pasta? That’s interesting and I’m going to like it. Easy to make, delicious and a lot of protein. Thank you👍😋

[anyadarlingg]

Can i use rice vinegar instead of white whine vinegar ?

[elleanna]

I guess this can do also for filling a veg lasagna with veg bechamel 😊

[Marcuseees]

Great recipe! How do you know when the alcohol from the wine has evaporated? 😊

[EricPollarrd]

Lentils WITH pasta? How many carbs per 100g, 500???

[lisaaustin]

[nayaheart]

Can you please advise on a substitute for white wine?

Hey, you didn't say "easy, right" ☺️

Soak lentils night before, they cook quicker.
