Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup of lentils
• 1/4 cup of olive oil
• 1 large eggplant
• 3 cups of tomato sauce
• 1 head of cauliflower (medium-sized)
• 6 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
• 3 cup of water on top of the cauliflower
• 1/4 of an onion finely chopped
• 2 Tbsp of salt + 2 tsp of salt
• 1/4 cup of dried oregano
• 1/4 cup of dried parsley
• 3 Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 cup + 1/2 cup of uncooked penne pasta

Directions

• In the slow cooker, add 1 cup of lentils
• Add 1/4 cup of olive oil
• Add 1 large eggplant, chopped into smaller pieces. I removed the skin from half of the eggplant. Also add 3 cups of tomato sauce on top of the eggplant
• Add 1 head of cauliflower roughly chopped. Also, sprinkle 2 tsp of salt on top of the cauliflower
• Add 6 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped. Add 3 cup of water on top of the cauliflower
• Add 1/4 of an onion finely chopped.
• Add 2 Tbsp of salt, 1/4 cup of dried oregano and 1/4 cup of dried parsley
• Top the slow cooker with 3 Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced
• Set it on high and let it cook for 9 hours or 11 hours on low. I made sure I stirred it occasionally.
• When there it half hour left in the cooking process, add uncooked penne to the slow cooker. The pasta needs just a few minutes to cook, so, dont add it too soon. If you prefer vegan spaghetti bolognese, add uncooked spaghetti 20 minutes left in the cooking time.
• Keep it on warm setting and serve this vegan bolognese with garlic bread
