Vegan Spaghetti Bolognese

Heat olive oil in a deep pan and sauté the chopped onion until translucent.

Then add the diced carrot, zucchini, and red bell pepper and sauté briefly until the vegetables begin to soften. Afterward, add the finely chopped garlic and sauté for another minute.

Add the chopped tomatoes, washed lentils, and tomato paste. If needed, add a splash of water. Cover and simmer gently over low heat for about an hour (or until the lentils and vegetables are soft), stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary.
