Get creative: For the perfect veggie Bolognese, cook the lentils as per pack instructions and set aside. Sauté chopped onion and garlic until soft, then stir in tomato purée. Add a glass of red wine and reduce by half. Stir in the cooked lentils, together with tinned tomatoes and bay leaves. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 mins. Serve with spaghetti and enjoy!
