The best Lentil Bolognese with Roast Veg Mash and Cashew Parmesan (vegan)

December 12, 2019 / Niki / 10 Comments

Oh this is a good one! a rich and earthy lentil bolognese with two types of lentils (red and Puy) for added texture, lots of mushrooms and tons of Unami flavour from the balsamic, Worcester and Tamari. It packs a flavour punch and super nourishing. Its brilliant with pasta but here I’ve served it with a lovely roast veg mash.

I roasted cauliflower, carrots and parsnips and then created a chunky mash blended with wholegrain mustard and nutritional yeast and coconut yogurt. So good!

Top with some cashew ‘Parmesan’ and its a special combination.

I hope you love this warming and comforting meal. Much love, Niki xxx

I'd love to know if you made this recipe.
