How to Prepare Slow Cooker Lentil Bolognese With Eggplant and Cauliflower [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Add all ingredients to the slow cooker. Set it on high and let it cook for 9 hours or 11 hours on low. Stir it every now and then.
  2. When you have 30 minutes left in the cooking process, add uncooked penne to the slow cooker. The pasta needs just a few minutes to cook, so, don't add it too soon. If you prefer vegan spaghetti bolognese, add uncooked spaghetti when there are 20 minutes left in the cooking time.
  3. Keep it on warm setting until ready to serve.
