This comforting vegan dish is a proper feel-good recipe that’s both delicious and very good for you. It’s a great way to introduce more legumes into your diet and lentils are so nutritional, packed with plant-based protein, fibre, iron and minerals. I usually soak the lentils the night before or for at least 3-4 hours prior to cooking. It’s not necessary as they cook relatively quickly but it makes them easier to digest. I recommend using brown or green lentils as I found them perfect for this dish and they cook in about 40 minutes. I have served the ragu with pasta but you can also serve it on its own as a lentil soup with some toasted garlic bread!

I am eating your ragu now, it is delicious, thank you!
My favourite Italian dish! And great for vegans too!
This is sambar
All super chefs, all influencers. But dishes so simple that anyone could make them.😂😂
You don't soak the lentils for several hours before (to reduce the gasiness of the belly)?
I once served a lentil ragu to a carnivore. He couldn't tell it wasn't meat. I still haven't told him.
Why pasta?
Mi piace moltissimo cuesta ricetta! Voglio farlo subito.
I’m nervous of lentils, I have heard that they need to be soaked for hours or something, otherwise you will have gastrointestinal distress
Would red lentil pasta be too much what's this sauce? Definitely a great dish on a cold winter night.
don't tell the italians but it makes ZERO difference on whether your oils been f****d or not.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤yuuuuum
Greetings from Detroit Susan ❤️
I will make this now …nice
If you cooked me this next year I'd be proposing
You are such a handsome sweet face and the dishes you make are so simple yet delicious. Happy cooking!!!
Very nice could you make more legumes recipies and broccoli cauliflower recipies?
You are great cook. I love your channel.
❤️
Why not add chopped parsley, or coriander or chives or some greens in the end? Gives a cooked dish much needed freshness.
🎉 2026🎉 Beautiful lentils recipe, thank you Chef. ❤
Cooking tip: you can soak the lentils in water overnight. Will reduce the cooking time.
Lots of love ❤❤❤
I find that this works even better with red lentils, something about their flavor really clicks with the rest of the dish.
Question, do you not boil your lentils first? I like to boil them for 5-10 minutes to get all the gross stuff out.
Wash the lentils?
Le lavi le lenticchie? Do you wash the lentils?
He keeps dropping his accent
Something i learned years ago is to parboil the lentils first, about 10 minutes until the water is brown, rinse and drain and then do everything else as you said. It gets rid of the dirt flavor lentils can have, makes it so much more delicious 😋
Extra virgin olive oil and high temp? Nah
Make sure you get the right type of lentil, these are not split and 30min is not long for many lentils
