Simple Lentil Bolognese

April 18, 2020 By Tiana Haines Leave a Comment

    Lentil Bolognese is the perfect easy weeknight dinner ready in less than 20 mins! Lentils are a great mince replacement providing a meat like texture + they are loaded with fibre and protein. This is a very basic recipe so feel free to add in some veggies like mushrooms, zucchini or carrot for some extra goodness however this will increase the cooking time. Hope you enjoy this recipe!! xx
