with fresh parsley and cheesy topping
In Italian cuisine, ragu is traditionally a succulent meat-based accompaniment to pasta dishes. Though this recipe has the pasta part down, it swaps out meat for protein-packed lentils stewed in a rich, thick and tasty tomato sauce.

Cooking Steps
1
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the linguine.
- When boiling, add the linguine and bring back to the boil.
- Cook until softened, 12 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
- Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
- Meanwhile, trim the carrot then coarsely grate (no need to peel).
- Drain and rinse the lentils.
- Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
3
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Add the carrot and half the Italian herbs (double for 4p). Cook, stirring, 4-5 mins.
- Add 50ml water (double for 4p), muscat, chopped tomatoes, Worcester sauce, lentils and half the parsley.
- Season with salt, pepper and 1 tsp sugar (double for 4p). Cover and simmer until lentils are tender, 12-15 mins.
- Stir in a knob of butter and half the cheese. Cook for 2-3 mins.
4
- Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if necessary. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
