Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Prepare your tomato sauce in a pan (if making homemade, or heat up store-bought sauce) and set aside.
To a large pan, drizzle your olive and set to medium heat.
Add minced garlic and gently stir until fragrant. Add in onions, celery, and carrots and cook for about 10-15 minutes until softened.
Add in your lentils and spices and cook down for another 10 minutes. Add in a bit of water if you see veggies are not softened, about 1/4 cup.
While all the vegetables are cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook your pasta.
Once all vegetables are cooked, pour in your sauce and let cook for a final 5 minutes.
Pour your sauce into the pan with your veggie mixture, then drain your pasta and add it to your pan. Mix everything together until well combined.
Top pasta with extra dried parsley, cheese, or other toppings of choice before enjoying.
