Lentil Bolognese

I’ve been keeping a batch of marinated French lentils in my fridge these days to turn into easy lunches and dinners. (French lentils are ideal for this because they hold their distinct shape.) One of my favorite moves: this almost meat-free Lentil Bolognese sauce, which comes together in about half an hour. Tossed over pasta, it’s the kind of comforting, hearty dinner I need right now. The best trick is to save some of the marinated lentils to sprinkle on top of each serving for a fun pop of contrasting texture and flavor.

Enjoy,
