Vegetarian green spelt Bolognese with spinach, which can also delight meat freaks

Cover the coarse green spelt meal with water and soak for 2 or more hours. Thaw the spinach. Sauté the finely chopped onion with a little oil and the garlic until translucent, then add the fine green spelt meal and roast briefly until fragrant. Pour in the soaked, washed, coarse green spelt meal, vegetable stock cube, and water and simmer for 25-30 minutes. Add more water if necessary. Once the green spelt is tender, add the spinach and cook until a sauce forms. Bring to a gentle simmer, taking care not to burn. Remove from the heat and season with pesto and Parmesan cheese. If desired, season with milk or cream and add salt. Tastes great as a lasagna sauce, with spaghetti, and penne. For a vegan version, substitute the corresponding products with vegan alternatives.
