Dice the onion, mushrooms, and carrot and set aside
In a pan on medium heat add your olive oil, garlic, and onion and saute until the onions are translucent
Add in the vegetables and saute until cooked through
Pour in your Scoop Napolitana, lentils, and mixed herbs, and cook for 15-20 minutes until the lentils are cooked through
In the meantime cook the pasta by boiling for 8-10 minutes
Pour the pasta into the Lentil Bolognese mixture and stir through
Serve with parmesan cheese and enjoy!
oilsOur extra virgin olive oil is cold pressed straight after harvest to ensure optimal flavour & freshness from olives grown country Victoria. This multi-purpose fruity oil is perfect for drizzling, dressings, dipping and cooking, a very useful “all-rounder” in the kitchen. Rich in antioxidants, vitamin E, omega-3 and 6. Free from cholesterol, preservatives or additives. Store in a cool, dry place in your pantry.
beans and lentilsThese are a year-round pantry staple. Can be pre-cooked and stored in the fridge to bulk up salads during hot weather or added to hearty soups and curries in the winter months. Their quick cooking, no soaking nature makes them ideal for healthy weeknight meals. To cook, rinse first and then add to your pot with three times water to the number of lentils. Cook for 25-45 minutes, until tender and then drain excess water. Red lentils make a great source of plant-based protein as well as iron, vitamin B, folate, copper, manganese and fibre. Store dried red lentils in an airtight container and keep in a cool, dry place.
pastaGluten-free, cholesterol-free, high in protein and minerals with no added starches. A beautiful and simple pasta, good for those looking for a higher quality spaghetti without the empty starch. Amaranth and Rice are a lot more nutrient-dense grains than white wheat so you'll get a lot more out of your pasta meal without compromising on texture or flavour. Boil for 12 minutes if you like it 'al dente' or firm, otherwise continue to taste every minute if you prefer it softer until you reach your desired consistency. For a quick and easy dinner simply coat your spaghetti with a jar of Scoop's delicious organic Napolitana tomato sauce! Store all pantry items in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.
herbsA classic combination of herbs that add flavour to any dish. Made using a blend of 100% natural thyme, rosemary, sage and oregano, this blend is handy to sprinkle into your tomato or bolognese pasta sauce, or even on top of your homemade pizza! Store in an airtight container and keep in a cool, dry place.
