Spaghetti Lentil Ragu

Lentil Spaghetti Ragu Vegan Recipe

A really simple and wholesome pasta, which is packed with protein and flavour.

  • You can make this gluten-free by simply substituting soy sauce for tamari and wholewheat spaghetti for a gluten-free version.
  • We use dried red lentils which are relatively quick to cook – you can try other varieties but they might take longer to cook until soft.
  • The sauce is great for freezing and using as meal-prep. You can also serve it with jacket potato or a grain such as buckwheat.
