This easy, quick vegan recipe for spaghetti with lentil bolognese are one of the absolute go-tos in our kitchen. We usually have pasta, lentils and tomatoes on hand. As a meat replacement I really like ready to use brown lentils. But of course you can use dried ones and cook them yourself. This dish is ready in 25 minutes and a satisfying crowd pleaser.

This pasta recipe is already super tasty, but with added aromatic browned pine nuts and chopped rocket salad with its nutty spiciness they turn into a sensation!

For the lentil bolognese you only need:

  • onions and garlic
  • canned tomatoes and tomato paste
  • cooked brown lentils
  • Italian herbs
  • nutritional yeast
  • a little red wine

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 garlic clove chopped
  • 1 can tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Italian dried herb mix
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
  • 1/2 can cooked brown lentils
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • a little red wine optional
  • 300 g Spaghetti 10 oz.
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon pine nuts
  • 1 handful of rocket salad
  • a dash of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat salt water in a big pot for the pasta. 
  • Sauté onions in a medium pot in olive oil until soft. Add garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, herbs, lentils, salt, 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast and optional red wine. Stir well, bring to a boil, and then reduce heat and simmer with the lid on. 
  • When the water is boiling, add pasta and cook for one minute less than instructions suggest. 
  • Drain and add to the simmering sauce immediately. It's fine if a little cooking water gets into the sauce, it will only make it better. Stir well.
  • Brown the pine nuts in a small pan, dry or with a little olive oil. Careful, they burn quickly.
  • Serve the pasta with 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast sprinkled over the top as parmesan replacement, with the rocket salad and the pine nuts.
