Method

  1. 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.
  2. Add the red pepper, mushrooms, if using, chopped tomatoes, tomato purée and herbs and stir well. Add the lentils now if using.
  3. 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.
  4. Whilst bolognese is cooking prepare formula as per instructions on pack.
  5. Put the pasta and formula in a pan and simmer on a very low heat stirring occasionally until the pasta has absorbed all the formula, this takes 20–30 minutes.
  6. When ready spoon the pasta and bolognese into a small bowl and serve.
