Lentil Bolognese with Wholewheat Spaghetti (Vegetarian)
1 step
Prep:10minCook:35min
This meal is a much healthier and lower calorie alternative to a traditional meat Bolognese. There is, however, no compromise on taste. The Bolognese itself has an energy density well below 1 calorie per gram however when combined with a portion of wholewheat spaghetti and a sprinkle of Parmesan the energy density is a little above 1 calorie per gram but is also high in fibre. You won’t regret making this recipe! Vegans can use a non-dairy cheese.

Step 1
Cook the green lentils in slightly salted water as per the cooking instructions. Finely chop the onions and garlic and fry in the olive oil in a large saucepan for 5 minutes. Add the vegetable stock, tinned tomatoes, red wine, tomato puree, balsamic vinegar and oregano. Season with some salt and pepper and stir well. Leave on low heat for 15 minutes then add the drained, cooked lentils and stir well. Cook for a further 15 minutes. In the meantime boil the wholewheat spaghetti in line with the cooking instructions, using 75 g of raw spaghetti per portion. Drain and rinse the spaghetti and serve each portion with a quarter of the Bolognese and 5 g of Parmesan cheese. Suggested servings: Four.
