Fresh nourishing lentil bolognese with pasta and salat. Gosh thats my fav meal of rainy and cold days, yummy! I often use canned tomatoes, they are much better than their reputation. Canned tomatoes are picked ripe and immediately processed. Look for organic goods and without sugar added. Registered manufacturers add sugar. We don´t want that.
I have got used to a long time to read the ingredients on the packaging. If more than 5 ingredients stand on it which I can not read or do not know. I let it be! Best always buy fresh ingredients, as far as one is possible.
This is my Lentil Bolognese, with fresh vegetables and spices. Do you like something oriental? You can add a pinch of cinnamon. Here let the parmesan away. Now have fun while cook at!

200 g of brown or puy lentils
