Lentil Bolognese with Zucchini Noodles
Hearty lentils and plant-based crumbles simmered in a rich tomato-herb sauce, served over vibrant zucchini noodles for a satisfying and savory meal.
INGREDIENTS
0.33 cup Brown lentils
0.5 cup Textured vegetable protein
2 medium Zucchini
0.5 cup Tomato puree
1 tbsp Tomato paste
0.25 cup Yellow onion
1 clove Garlic
0.25 cup Carrot
0.25 tsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
2 tbsp Fresh basil
PREPARATION
Spiralize the zucchini into thin noodles and set them aside on a paper towel to drain any excess moisture.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced onion, carrot, and minced garlic until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste, tomato puree, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper, mixing thoroughly to combine the flavors.
Add the cooked lentils and textured vegetable protein to the skillet, along with a 1/4 cup of water to help rehydrate the crumbles.
Simmer the sauce for 8 to 10 minutes on low heat until thickened, then stir in the nutritional yeast for a boost of savory depth.
In a separate pan, flash-sauté the zucchini noodles for 2 minutes until just tender, then top with the Bolognese sauce and fresh basil.
