Here&rsquo;s everything you&rsquo;ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Extra virgin olive oil.<\/strong> For cooking down the vegetables and adding richness to the sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Onion + garlic.<\/strong> Saut&eacute;ed onion and garlic adds delicious aromatic flavor to the sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Celery + carrot.<\/strong> Adds heartiness and flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flavorings.<\/strong> To season the sauce, we&rsquo;re using Italian seasoning along with salt &amp; pepper. Fresh Italian parsley adds a clean, slightly peppery taste.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tomato paste + crushed tomatoes.<\/strong> For best results, we recommend going with a higher quality brand like <a href=\"https:\/\/mutti-parma.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mutti<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cento.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cento<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muirglen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Muir Glen<\/a>. Lower quality sauce will have a tinny, acidic flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Red wine + vegetable broth.<\/strong> The base of the sauce. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chianti, and Zinfandel all pair very well with tomato-based recipes. You don&rsquo;t have to use an expensive bottle. Something in the $6-$10 range will work just fine. Also, the alcohol will cook off, so don&rsquo;t worry about any alcohol content in the sauce &ndash; it just adds flavor!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lentils.<\/strong> You can use brown or green lentils. They are economical,&nbsp;plus they&rsquo;re packed with protein, making them filling and sustaining.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chopped walnuts.<\/strong> Adds texture and a boost of healthy fats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Grated parmesan.<\/strong> Optional, to finish the dish.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make this recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This pasta sauce recipe is very simple and straightforward. You only need one pot and just about 15 minutes hands-on time.&nbsp;Here&rsquo;s the simple method:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For the full, printable recipe, reference the recipe card at the bottom of the page.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Saut&eacute; onion + garlic.<\/strong> In a large deep skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add in the onion and garlic and saut&eacute; for 10 minutes, stirring often.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Cook the veggies.<\/strong> Add in the celery, carrot, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and continue to cook for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Simmer.<\/strong> Add in the wine (or &frac12; cup of additional broth, if not using wine) and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Add in the broth, lentils, walnuts, and crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot and simmer for 40-45 minutes, stirring every few minutes, or until the lentils are tender and cooked.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Serve.<\/strong> Stir in the parsley and cheese and cook for 1 additional minute.

Highly recommend!<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1667914570696\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why do you put carrots in bolognese sauce?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Carrots along with celery and onion<strong> <\/strong>season the sauce and give it delicious flavor. The natural sweetness of the carrots helps to build a complex flavor profile. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1667914731854\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do lentils need to be soaked before making lentil bolognese?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No!&nbsp;Lentils do not need to be soaked before making this recipe.&nbsp;Once you&rsquo;ve rinsed them off, they cook in the sauce. Having the lentils cook slowly in the sauce lends a delicious flavor and hearty texture. In other recipes that call for lentils, soaking them can cut down cooking time.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1667915322049\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can red lentils be used?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If you want to use red lentils for this recipe, just know that they&rsquo;ll need less cook time and will end up quite a bit softer than the brown or green lentils.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage recommendations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Storing leftovers.<\/strong> It&rsquo;s best to store the lentil bolognese separate from the pasta, in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reheating.<\/strong> Warm up on the stove or in the microwave until it&rsquo;s heated through.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Freezing.<\/strong> We love to&nbsp;make a double batch&nbsp;of sauce and freeze half to use later.
