In a large Dutch oven, warm olive oil over medium heat. Stir in onion and cook until fragrant.
Stir in garlic, diced celery, diced carrots, and cauliflower rice.
Stir and cook for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and vegetables are vibrant in color and have lightly softened.
Stir in the dried brown lentils and rehydrated textured soy protein and cook for 1 minute.
Add all remaining ingredients, stir, and bring to a light boil.
Reduce to low-medium heat, cover, and simmer while stirring occasionally.
Cook the Bolognese sauce for 30-40 minutes or until the lentils are tender and the sauce is rich and thick like a ragout, and minimal liquid is left on the pot.
Meanwhile, cook your spaghetti according to the packaging instructions.
Serving
Serve on top of cooked spaghetti with vegan Parmesan cheese, fresh basil or parsley, extra salt, and pepper.
