   Heat oil in a skillet (or pan) over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes.

   Stir in the carrots, (celery if using), mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Sauté until mushrooms have cooked down and are turning golden, about 5-7 minutes.

   Then add lentils, tomatoes and vegetable broth and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until lentils are done and the bolognese sauce is thickened. Adjust consistency by adding more water if needed. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and spices.
