Quick and easy veggie recipe

I was asked for this recipe by one of the other contributors to FA's Britpicking thread, so I thought I'd post it here, too.

Lentil Spaghetti Bolognese

1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 desert spoon vegetable stock powder
6 oz green lentils or 8oz puy lentils
1 14oz can tomatoes
8 oz mushrooms, quartered

Ooh yummy! I was going to ask you for that, thank you!

Quick question though - what do you think would be a good replacement for the mushrooms? Peppers?

Not sure peoppers would work. The mushrooms are mainly there to give it a nice chewy texture, and peppers would go too mushy. You could try Quorn - I believe they now do a Quorn "mince", which would be ideal. Or, if you prefer to use veg rather than meat substitutes, try a mixture of carrots and potatoes.
