Conscious Kitchen - Spaghetti Lentil Bolognese - 2/28/24

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated Pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Boil salted water in a pot for the spaghetti.

Once the water is boiling, drop in the spaghetti and stir to prevent sticking.

Cook spaghetti according to package instructions, checking for doneness after 10 minutes.

In a sauce pot over medium heat, add about 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and let it heat up.

Add 2 stalks of finely diced celery to the pot and sweat for about 2 minutes until translucent.

Add 2 diced carrots to the pot and sweat for another 2 minutes.

Add chopped green bell pepper and onion to the pot, continuing to sweat the vegetables without browning them.

Season the vegetables lightly with salt to enhance their flavor as they cook.

Add chopped garlic and tomato paste to the pot, mixing well with the vegetables.

Incorporate diced mushrooms into the sauce and stir to combine.

Add red lentils to the sauce and mix thoroughly.

Add Liquid Aminos and miso paste to the sauce for additional flavor.

Simmer the sauce for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and the sauce has thickened.
