Traditionally, ragout is a sauce made with meat and served over pasta, otherwise known as bolognese. Ok, here comes my rebellious moment ... I'm NOT going to add meat to my ragu sauce! This is between you and me; I do not want the Sociedad de l'Accademia Italiana della Cucina to hear about this. There's no telling what they might do! Try this fantastic lentil ragout!

Notes

This sauce is delicious over quinoa or pasta, even better if you get quinoa pasta. To cook the lentils (for 3 cups cooked lentils add 1 1/2 cups lentils) just put them in a large pot covered with water. Leave them a while until this soft.
