Hearty Mushroom Ragu with Zucchini Noodles
A robust, savory ragu that blends earthy mushrooms, creamy extra firm tofu, and protein-packed lentils with a rich tomato base, all served atop fresh, spiralized zucchini noodles. This comforting dish delivers a warm, satisfying experience with its layers of flavor and pleasant texture contrasts.
INGREDIENTS
1 large Zucchini (spiralized into noodles)
150g Cremini Mushrooms, sliced
1 cup Crushed Tomatoes
1/2 medium Yellow Onion, chopped
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 cup Cooked Lentils
3 oz Extra Firm Tofu, crumbled
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the large zucchini and set aside.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook until they soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the crumbled extra firm tofu and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing it to lightly brown.
Mix in the cooked lentils and crushed tomatoes. Sprinkle in the nutritional yeast and stir well to combine all flavors.
Allow the ragu to simmer on low-medium heat for 8-10 minutes, so that the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.
Just before serving, gently toss in the zucchini noodles and heat through for 1-2 minutes, ensuring they remain slightly crisp.
Serve warm, enjoying the comforting blend of earthy mushrooms, hearty lentils, and tofu balanced by the fresh crunch of zucchini noodles.
