Bean Bolognaise is a hearty, plant-based twist on the classic Italian Bolognese sauce. Typically made with a combination of beans—such as lentils, kidney beans, or black beans—this dish swaps out traditional ground meat for protein-packed legumes. It's simmered with tomatoes, garlic, onions, carrots, celery, and Italian herbs like oregano and basil, creating a rich, savory flavor. Some versions may include olive oil and red wine for depth. This dish is high in fiber, plant-based protein, and essential nutrients such as iron and potassium, making it a heart-healthy option. Being naturally low in saturated fat and cholesterol-free, it’s a great choice for those looking to reduce animal-based ingredients while staying full and satisfied. However, sodium levels can be high if canned beans or pre-packaged sauces are used, so opting for low-sodium alternatives is recommended. Bean Bolognaise pairs beautifully with whole-grain pasta, zucchini noodles, or a bed of warm grains.
