Yes, lentils are a decent substitute and quite healthy. I also tried soy chunks that you soak in broth for some time before adding to the sauce. These will benefit from a lot of time in the sauce and then are quite nice and a bit chunkier than lentils.
Neither will be as good as the original ground pork/beef that goes in a proper Italian bolognese. But I do like both versions enough to make a meat free version 8/10 times

Incredible recipe and truly simple, you can save on the oil and skip the drizzle over the top and it will still come out nice.
