Bolognese was before my time as Vegan , my absolute favorite dish. Moreover, the Italian classic also has an emotional meaning for me, because it was the first thing I cooked for my husband (then still my fiancé) in my small student apartment. Apparently it tasted good, or why else would he have married me? Mamma Mia, is all I’m saying.
The first exciting question revolves around the Pasta because does this necessarily have to be gluten-free or not? The experts argue, because pasta is not made from wheat, but from durum wheat semolina. According to this, it is supposed to be healthier than classic foods made from wheat. Since I do not have an intolerance (celiac disease), I honestly like both variants very much. The only thing I do without, of course, are tagliatelle with Egg .
Lentil bolognese a must-have recipe in your collection
What actually makes a really good Bolognese? In my opinion, it is the symbiosis of various spices, a pinch of sugar, salt and the acidity of the balsamic. The lentils give the sauce a delicious, creamy, but still firm to the bite character. Lentils play in German kitchens rather a minor role, but they are really small powerhouses.
They are:
- Very good sources of protein
- Rich in nerve-strengthening B vitamins
- Rich in vitamin E (cell protective)
- Rich in calcium, potassium and magnesium
- Especially rich in zinc (for hair and nails)
30 minutes and a handful of ingredients, that and no more you need for this Dish . I promise you that everyone will love you for it. As a topping there is still freshly ground, vegan parmesan and off we go with the pasta party!
