*Vegan Lentil Bolognese* Serves 6, 455 Cal, 15g protein

1 tbsp oil or ¼ cup water
2 carrots, minced
4 celery stalks, minced
1 red onion, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
10 oz mushrooms, minced (15 to 20)
1 cup walnuts, minced (toasted preferably)
2 tbsp tomato paste
¼ cup red wine vinegar + ¼ cup water
28 oz can crushed tomatoes
2 cups cooked brown lentils (canned or pre-cooked)
1 cup veg broth
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
*OR use 3 tsp Italian seasoning*
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp sweetener
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Chili flakes to taste
Fresh basil or flat-leaf parsley to garnish


1. Heat a deep sauté pan or medium-high heat and warm the oil or water. Once hot, add the minced onion, garlic, carrots, celery and a pinch of salt and pepper (and red chili flakes if you like). Stir often and sauté until veggies are golden brown and softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced mushrooms and walnuts. Stir occasionally and let everything cook down for 5 mins, until the mushrooms have shrunk by about 50%. Add a tbsp a water now and then to deglaze the pan if needed.
3. Stir in the tomato paste, the dried basil, oregano and thyme, plus another pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. Cook about 3 mins, stirring to prevent burning.
4. Stir in the vinegar-water mix and with a wooden spoon scrape the bottom of the pot to release the tasty brown bits stuck to the bottom. Allow the vinegary vapours to cook out for about 3 minutes.
5. Stir in the lentils, crushed tomatoes, veg stock, nutritional yeast and another pinch of salt and pepper and chili flakes. Bring to a boil then turn down heat to a rapid simmer and let cook for 30 to 35 minutes, put the lid on.
6. Meanwhile bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta noodles until just al dente, with still some firmness and chew. Reserve a cup of pasta water just in case you need to thin out your sauce as it cooks.
7. After the 30 to 35 minutes, stir in the balsamic vinegar, taste it, and add the sweetener, more salt, pepper and chili flakes as needed.
