Excellent bolognese with lentils

Came across your recipe as am trying to get us to eat more lentils in our diet. Made this for my hubby and 3 year old and went down a treat so I am now making it for 9 kids for this Saturday. Really tasty, thank you 😊

Nutritious, Flavourful and a regular favourite!

This is one of my hubby's favourite meals and I love that I can still pack it with veg. Amazing served on any kind of pasta, my particular favourites are buckwheat pasta or the sourdough spelt shells from Honest to Goodness!
