1. Heat the oil over a large, deep saucepan. Add the onions, garlic, carrots and celery and cook over medium heat for 15 – 20 minutes until carrots are soft. 2. Add the lentils, tomatoes, tomato puree, red wine, oregano, thyme, bay leaves and vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 40-45 minutes. 3. Add water or more red wine if the mixture starts to thicken too much. 4. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 5. Cook the spaghetti following the instructions on the packet. Drain well. 6. Serve Lentil Bolognese atop a big bowl of the pasta. Add grated vegan parmesan cheese and serve hot. Hints/Tips: Replace vegan parmesan with ‘nutty parmesan’: processed nuts, nutritional yeast and seasoning. Yum! Freeze for up to 3 months. |
