Hearty Lentil Bolognese with Pappardelle
Earthy lentils and aromatic mirepoix simmered in a rich tomato sauce, served over tender chickpea pappardelle with a savory dusting of nutritional yeast.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked brown lentils
1.5 oz dry chickpea pappardelle
0.5 cup tomato puree
5 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.25 cup yellow onion
0.25 cup carrot
0.25 cup celery
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pappardelle according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced onion, carrot, and celery until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, cooking for one minute until fragrant.
Add the cooked brown lentils and tomato puree to the skillet, stirring to combine and simmering for 5-7 minutes to meld the flavors.
Drain the pasta and toss it directly into the lentil sauce, adding a small splash of pasta water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Serve the bolognese in a shallow bowl and top generously with nutritional yeast for a savory, cheesy finish.
