Instructions

6 steps

  1. Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

    Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Add Lentils

    Stir in the cooked lentils and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    Use pre-cooked lentils for quicker preparation.
  3. Incorporate Tomatoes

    Add crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

    Adjust the amount of tomato paste based on your desired thickness.
  4. Season the Mixture

    Add oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.

    Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Simmer

    Let the sauce simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    For richer flavor, simmer longer if time permits.
  6. Serve

    Serve the Bolognese sauce over your favorite pasta, garnished with fresh basil if desired.

    Pair with a side salad for a complete meal.
