Vegan Lentil Bolognese
Apr 17, 2023
The addition of vegetables (frozen ones for value and convenience) ups the healthfulness of this old-fashioned family standby. Using evaporated milk instead of regular doubles the calcium and adds extra creaminess. For a complete vegetarian meal, serve with a spinach or romaine salad with Sun-Dried Tomato Dressing.
To-do list: Adults: Chop onion. Dice green pepper. Slice mushrooms and pepperoni. Cut carrots into sticks. Children: Wipe all sides of mushrooms with damp papper towel. Crack eggs into large bowl and whisk. With box grater, shred cheese. Break or cut broccoli into florets. Peel carrots.
Serve with: Light caesar salad. This is good for staggered mealtimes or for lunches, and it's also toaster-oven-friendly. The kids can get it ready for supper for the whole family.
Meaning “big soup” in Italian, minestrone is exactly that – a hearty dish that can easily be a starter or an entrée.
This adaptation of a classic noodle dish is quick and easy — and delicious enough to command second servings.
