Ingredients
Bolognese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
- 250g beef, lamb, pork or soya mince, or cooked brown lentils
- 1 red pepper, finely chopped

- 1 teaspoon tomato purée
- Good pinch of oregano or mixed herbs
Pasta

Method
- Heat the oil in a pan, add the onion, garlic and mince (or soya mince) and cook until brown, stirring all the time to break up the mince.
- Add the red pepper, mushrooms, if using, chopped tomatoes, tomato purée and herbs and stir well. Add the lentils now if using.
- Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 45 mins until the mince is tender. If using cooked lentils reduce the 1 hour cooking time to 20 mins.
