  1. FRY THE VEG

    Boil the kettle. 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 occasionally. Pour in the red wine and leave to simmer for about 1-2 minutes, until almost all evaporated.

  2. LUSCIOUS ‘BOLOGNESE’ SAUCE

    When the wine has evaporated, mix in the grated garlic, Provençal rub, and the tomato paste. Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Stir in the cooked chopped tomato, drained lentils, and 100ml of boiling water. 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 PASTA

    Bring a pot of salted water to the boil for the pasta. When the water is boiling, cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain on completion, reserving a cup of pasta water, and toss through some olive oil to prevent sticking.

  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. COMFORT IS SERVED!

    Dish up a generous bowl of pasta and smother in sticky lentil bolognese. Sprinkle over the nutritional yeast and garnish with the chopped basil. Scrumptious, Chef!
