Bolognese sauce is practically defined by the meat (ground pork and veal, and sometimes slab bacon or pancetta) that makes it rich. But blogger veggie num num's recipe contains a vegetable solution that substitutes lentils for meat and creates a well-textured sauce. It's also vegan because instead of the milk that's usually added to a bolognese, she uses canned tomato soup. It's a natural over pasta, but you can also serve the sauce over polenta.

Lentils aren't the only game in town for a vegetable version of bolognese sauce; this mushroom-based sauce is also earthy and flavorful.
