[recipe] Lentil Bolognese Sauce ~ vegan

[Guest guest]

This sauce recipe is very healthy, versatile and

delicious; a great source of protein. You can use

it to dress up a plate of steamed vegetables or

over your favorite pasta. Another great use is to

mix it with spinach and mushrooms and use that

as a stuffing for lasagne rolls with a creamy

bŽchamel over top. Mmmm
