Easiest Lentil & Veggie Bolognese

Ingredients:
• Pack of lentils (I got pre-cooked lentils to make this all the easier)
• Box of rigatoni pasta
• Jar of your fav sauce
• 8 oz white mushrooms
• 1 red pepper
• 1 zucchini
• 1 small yellow onion
• Olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic

Directions:
1. Wash & cut all your veggies - diced into small pieces.
2. In large pan, add olive oil & begin cooking onions & peppers first.
3. In a large pot, bring water to boil.
4. As the onions & peppers soften, add in the mushrooms & zucchini to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, & garlic.
4. In the pot, cook your pasta once the water gets to a boil.
5. Once all the veggies are cooked, add in lentils & stir. Add in sauce & stir. Simmer until warm/hot.
6. Drain your pasta once it’s cooked al dente.
7. You can either combine all the ingredients OR you can serve your pasta & add the sauce on top!

Enjoy!

In the second photo you can see I added tempeh for extra protein. Any protein source would work here, especially tempeh or chicken! The lentils do also have protein, I preferred to have some more with this meal!

This reminder felt important for
1) the Kim K dress fiasco and
2) the changing of seasons & pulling out last year’s clothes & sometimes they just don’t fit and that is TOTALLY OKAY

Anyways, happy Thursday. Your body is so much more than simply how it looks 💗
