Vegetarian spaghetti bolognese

tiddles

I make one using the Puy green lentils; cook them in boiling water for about 20 minutes, and add them to a sauce made with onions, garlic and tinned tomatoes - delicious!

I dont know! What am I going to do with you lot. Who ever heard of a Bolognese sauce without meat! ( I hope this is the right icon for tongue in cheek!)

I'm a veggie too and agree that the Asda own brand mince is much better than Quorn for flavour. (But higher in fat iirc)

A couple of other things I use is adding a veggie stock cube to the bolognese sauce.

A teaspoon of marmite - I hate the stuff on its own but it gives a meatier flavour to veggie mince dishes.

Hendersons relish. Its a bit like a veggie version of Worcester sauce. A few splashes of that goes in every veggie casserole I make and it really gives a deeper flavour. (I get mine at Morrisons).


Also have you tried a lentil bolognese? I know it sounds horrible and hippy and tbh I put off trying it for ages until a friend let me taste her version and its lovely. Ive got a recipe for it if you want - just let me know

Hope this helps
