I love simple but nutritious and delicious dishes. Today’s Red Lentil pasta Bolognese is just that! Even my non-lectin-free family approved. They couldn’t tell they are eating plant-based pasta!
The red lentil pasta takes only one minute of pressure cooking to eliminate lectins! In the meantime, you can make the Bolognese sauce with typical ingredients – onion, garlic, grass-fed beef or Quorn Meatless Grounds, spices, and strained tomato sauce (preferable Pomi). Finally, top everything with real grated Italian Parmigiano Reggiano cheese with casein 2 milk.
This is for Phase 3 of the Plant Paradox only!
