Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe. What have you got cooking for dinner? Sometimes we need some food that is comforting and hearty; nothing else will do. Often these foods are high in calories and weak in nutrition (think mac n cheese or fried chicken….mmm chicken).

What if you could have something that was comforting and nutritious? We all want to eat food that is quick to prepare. Often this means convenience foods or takeaways. These are never kind to our waistlines and are unsatisfying processed rubbish.

What if you could prepare your comforting, nutritious dinner in 20 minutes or less? That is less time than it would take most people to pick up take-out. Honestly, today I want to share one of my all-time favorite recipes with you: my easy spaghetti bolognese recipe. My secret is to use half the amount of ground beef and replace it with lentils. This makes the recipe lower in calories, higher in fiber, and cheaper on your wallet. It’s also a great recipe to hide veggies in for fussy children or partners! I hope you enjoy it.
