A hearty and comforting pasta dish with a rich lentil Bolognese sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or special gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup lentils, rinsed
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 oz pasta of choice
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Once al dente, drain and set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the rinsed lentils, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well, and allow it to sizzle for a moment.
  4. Cover the saucepan and let it simmer on low heat for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and the flavors meld beautifully.
  5. Once the lentil mixture is ready, combine it with the cooked pasta. Toss gently to coat the pasta in a warm, fragrant embrace. Serve this delightful dish warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For storage, keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
