  1. FRY THE VEG

    Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 100ml of boiling water. Place a deep saucepan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion and grated carrot for 5-6 minutes until softened, shifting regularly.

  2. LUSCIOUS ‘BOLOGNESE’ SAUCE

    On completion, mix in the grated garlic, Provençal Rub, and ½ of the chopped chilli to taste. Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Stir in the cooked chopped tomato, drained lentils, sherry, and diluted stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a low-medium heat. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until reduced and sticky, stirring occasionally.

  3. BOIL THE FUSILLI

    After about 5 minutes, place a pot of salted water over a high heat and bring to the boil. Once bubbling rapidly, cook the pasta for 13-15 minutes until al dente. Drain on completion, reserving ½ a cup of pasta water. Return to the pot and toss through some olive oil to prevent sticking. Pop on a lid and set aside for serving.

  4. ALMOST THERE

    If the sauce is too thick on completion, loosen by mixing in the reserved pasta water in 10ml increments until the desired consistency. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a sweetener of choice. On completion, remove the pan from the heat.

  5. ENJOY THIS WONDERFUL WARMER

    Dish up a generous bowl of pasta and smother in sticky lentil Bolognese. Crumble over the drained feta and garnish with the chopped parsley. Finish with a sprinkle of the remaining fresh chilli if you’d like some extra heat. Scrumptious, Chef!
