Ingredients

4 servings

  • 8 oz dried spathetti
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ large yellow onion, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 1 stalk celery, sliced
  • 4 cups white mushroom, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon pepper, plus more to taste
  • ½ cup red wine
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 28 oz diced organic tomato
  • ¼ cup tomato paste
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup dried brown lentils
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large pot, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in the same pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the carrots, celery, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Sauté until mushrooms have cooked down and are turning golden, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the wine and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 4 minutes.
  • 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.
  • Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 40 minutes, until the bolognese is thickened.
  • Serve the bolognese over the pasta, or, for a lighter option, use zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash.
  • Garnish with parsley.
  • Enjoy!
