This recipe does the trick, delivering on flavor, simplicity and heartiness. This red sauce is spicy, bold, and infused with red lentils for added protein. Plus, it’s vegan and gluten-free, and it comes together in just 30 minutes. Shall we? This recipe is inspired by my Simple Chickpea Bolognese. If you haven’t tried that recipe yet, you must! It’s hearty, filling, and a new spin on classic bolognese. Plus, carrot noodles for the win! I’ve wanted to make a dish with red lentils for a while now, because they’re tender, slightly sweet, cook quickly, and pair especially well with sauces and soups. Not to mention, they’re rich with health benefits, including iron, fiber, folate, and protein. The sauce itself is incredibly simple, relying on a base of garlic, carrots, and tomatoes for flavor and texture. Next comes tomato paste and sauce for rich tomato flavor. And spices like red pepper flakes, basil, oregano, and sea salt bring it to life. Serve with gluten free pasta for a seriously delicious and hearty plant-based meal. I hope you love this pasta! It’s: HeartyRichFlavorfulSpicyQuickHealthy& Delicious This would make the perfect meal when you’re craving something quick, healthy, and filling, making it ideal for weeknight meals.
