Vegan Lentil & Quinoa Bolognese

Do you love spaghetti bolognese but want to mix it up a little? This vegan lentil & quinoa bolognese is amazing! It's super tasty, easy to make, healthy and keeps your meals interesting for everyone!


This bolognese only takes about 30 minutes to cook, as long as you have the rice and lentils cooked already, otherwise it takes an extra 12 minutes.


Your kids will love to help you make this, once the vegetables are chopped up it's just putting things in a pan and stirring, which I'm sure they will enjoy!


This recipe serves 4 generously and it's perfect for a tasty family meal!


Some of your may have seen that I posted a different bolognese recipe a couple of days ago, we love bolognese in our family. I told a story about Joss' brothers family.

They play a game called messy spaghetti, it's a great game to encourage young kids to eat all of their dinner. It makes dinner time fun and it's something the whole family will enjoy!


The aim of the game is to see who can get the messiest, they suck the spagehetti up in one go, it may splash the sauce on your face a little but the kids really enjoy it, in the process they eat all the healthy sauce and food with the spaghetti.


When one of the kids is sucking up a peice of spaghetti the rest of the family cheer and they all really enjoy it!


If you are looking for new ways to get your kids to eat their food, I highly suggest you try this with them!
