Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion chopped up
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp red chili flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 0.8 lbs ground beef
- 227 grams mushrooms 2.5 cups chopped finely
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 800 mL canned whole tomatoes 28 oz
- 1/2 cup brown lentils
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups cooked pasta or more
- 4-5 tbsp pinenuts
- optional: freshly grated parmesan
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat and then add in the onions. Let the onions sweat it out for 2-3 minutes before adding in the oregano, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Give it a stir and let it cook for another minute before adding in your garlic.
- Next, add in the ground beef and let it brown, making sure to break up the meat with your wooden spoon for 8-9 minutes.
- Add in the mushrooms and continue to stir for another minute, making sure the mushroom is well incorporated with the beef.
- Stir in the tomato paste and then add in the canned whole tomatoes, breaking up the tomatoes in the skillet as you stir.
- Add in your brown lentils with a cup of water and bring the whole skillet to a boil before turning down the heat. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the lentils are cooked through, stirring occasionally.
- Once done, in a mason jar, layer in the bolognese, pine nuts, optional cheese, and cooked pasta. Store for up to 5-6 days in the fridge.
