Our veggie bolognese is a delicious meal for little ones! Soft macaroni is mixed with gentle lentils in a smooth tomato sauce, packed with veggies like carrots, mushroom and onions.

What do we love about our veggie bolognese?

Made with mushrooms, carrots, onions, and lentils, this nourishing meal delivers 1.5 portions of fruit and vegetables along with 6 unique plant points, helping to support a varied and balanced diet.

The combination of dark speckled lentils and mushrooms provides plant-based protein and fibre, while the tomato-rich sauce offers natural sweetness and vitamin C. Finished with herbs including oregano and rosemary, and enriched with the deep savoury flavour of porcini mushrooms and nutritional yeast, this dish is full of flavour and nutrition.
