Instructions

Step 1/4

Prepare Lentils and Zucchini

  • 75g Lentils
  • 1 Zuchini

Cook the lentils according to package instructions until tender, then drain and set aside. Meanwhile, spiralize the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer or julienne peeler.

Step 2/4

Cook Aromatics and Tomato Sauce

  • 1 tsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Small Onion
  • 2 Garlic Clove
  • 100g Diced Tomatoes
  • 1/4 tsp Dried Basil
  • 1/4 tsp Dried Oregano

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add canned diced tomatoes with their juices, dried basil, dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 3/4

Combine Lentils and Season

Add the cooked lentils to the tomato sauce in the skillet. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste if needed.

Step 4/4

Sauté Zucchini Noodles and Serve

  • 1 tsp Olive Oil
  • 15g Grated Parmesan
  • 5g Fresh Parsley

In a separate non-stick pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and lightly sauté the zucchini noodles for 2-3 minutes, until just tender but still crisp. Divide the noodles between serving plates, top with the lentil Bolognese mixture, and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Serve hot.
