Mushroom & lentil pappardelle Bolognese

Good meat free alternative. The portobello mushrooms were quite strongly flavoured. I would use chestnut or half-half next time

Easy to make Added a splash of red wine

Deglazed the pan with red wine and cooked for longer to intensify flavour. Added tsp marmite for a bit of depth

Pretty sure I wouldn't make it again. It was easy enough but not really tasty. It would probably be better if it was put in a slow cooker for hours to develop the taste. I didn't add the lentils, didn't see how they would add much.

Great go to mid week meal. I used ready cooked puy lentils from Tesco and left odd the celery and added a glass of red wine

Lovely. Used dried herbs, green lentils in place of puy, omitted celery and tagliatelle instead of pappardelle. Really easy to make and tastes great. Will have this again.

I used dried thyme, bay leaves, and basil because that's what I had and it was all good. I usually find Jamie Oliver recipes to be convoluted but this was super easy.
