I think all children love spaghetti. My children also like it, but they both favour different kinds. Just like me, my daughter loves spaghetti, so she eats with pleasure all kinds of sauce. My son is much pickier, and he likes only spaghetti Bolognese. I like it too, but how often can we eat the same meal, even it is our favourite and very yummy? Today, like a true woman, I couldn't decide and just changed the dish a little bit. I made traditional Bolognese sauce, but I added lentils instead of minced meat. My children like this new dish and the plates were licked clean. That's how I like it!
Ingredients (for 2 people)
100g of green lentils
500ml of passata
1 shallot
2 cloves of garlic
1 chili pepper
1 stem of celery
1 red pepper
250ml of bouillon
1 teaspoon of oregano
1/2 teaspoon of sweet paprika
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 tablespoons of parmesan of vegetarian parmesan
salt and pepper
Dice the garlic, shallot and chili pepper. Slice the stem of celery. Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the vegetables. Add the lentils and fry for a while. Pour in the bouillon and boil on a low heat for 15-20 minutes. Add the passata, oregano and paprika and boil for 10 minutes. Add the cubed red pepper 5 minutes before you finish cooking. If necessary, spice it up with salt and pepper. Boil the spaghetti al dente. Serve it with sauce and parmesan (or vegetarian parmesan).
Enjoy your meal!
