If you're looking for a pasta that is healthy and hearty, look no further than making a lovely Italian Bolognese sauce with lentils! Packed with protein and vegetables, this is one heart-healthy pasta that should be included in every vegan diet. 

This simple whole-food recipe makes a large vat of sauce, so it is perfect for family-cooking, batch cooking or an affordable meal for an at-home party.

I created the Mind Body Soul Food blog, to give insight to the beauty of alternative health and wellness, and help people navigate the kitchen with simple and affordable whole-food dairy-free recipes. With the motto, "a lifestyle inspired by nature," my hope is to inspire people to connect to the heartiness of the land, the foods that come directly from nature. 

​Since America has this protein obsession, this recipe is packed with protein that doesn't use fake-meat crumble.

Not only is protein important, but fiber iron and polyphenols are also important, which lentils are chocked full of! 

What people don't realize is that in today's new normal, wearing masks, specifically while exercising is not ideal long term, especially when breathing in your own metabolic waste and microbioms. Polyphenols in lentils are or aide in: antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-fungal, antiviral, cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, nephroprotective, antidiabetic, anticancer, anti-obesity, hypolipidemic, and chemopreventive activities. 

​I believe if people respected human physiology as well as understood the power of nature, one would naturally adopt this type of eating more and refrain from the chronic junk-food eating culture.

​Simmer on medium-low heat with a lid on the pot until the lentils are edible, usually around 20 minutes of cooking. Serve over your favorite pasta! Enjoy!

I'm Angel Castor from the US. White Caucasian Female. I'm 43 years old and I got married at the age of 25, I have only two children and I am living happily.

Five years ago, my husband's behavior became so strange that I didn't really understand what was going on. He packed out of the house to another woman’s house and I love him so much that I
never dream of losing him, I tried my best to make sure that my husband got back to me but all to no avail, I cried and cried seeking help. I discussed it with my best friend Alison and she told me she can help me. She told me of a man called Dr. Odunga, she told me he is a very great man and a real man that can be trusted and there is nothing concerning love and Pregnancy issues he cannot solve and she told me how he has helped her and countless number of people in

restoring their relationship. I quickly contacted his email address at [email protected] I explained all my problems to him, he told me that I should not worry that all my problems will be fine. Presently, I am very happy I got my husband back to me with the help of Dr. Odunga and we are living happily with so much love for each other. What-app message/call him at +2348167159012 to help you
