One-Pot Lentil Bolognese

A hearty and flavorful vegetarian meal made with lentils, mushrooms, and tomatoes, simmered in a fragrant sauce with Italian herbs, this dish is quick and easy to make in one pot.

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large pot, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in the same pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes.

3. 3

   Stir in the carrots, celery, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Sauté until mushrooms have cooked down and are turning golden, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the wine and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 4 minutes.

5. 5

   Add the garlic and stir to combine, then add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, broth, lentils, basil, oregano, rosemary, and baking soda. Stir to combine.

6. 6

   Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 40 minutes, until the bolognese is thickened.

7. 7

   Serve the bolognese over the pasta, or, for a lighter option, use zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash.

8. 8

   Garnish with parsley.

9. 9

   Enjoy!
