    AuthorHannah

    [cooked-sharing]

    Yields3 Servings
    Prep Time5 minsCook Time25 minsTotal Time30 mins
     1 teaspoon olive oil
     1 medium onion, finely chopped
     1 cup chopped vegetables of choice (I use shredded carrots for the best flavor but you can also add bell pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, etc.)
     1 25 oz (709g) jar marinara sauce
     ¾ cup red lentils
     ½ cup water
     10 oz pasta*, prepared according to package instructions
    1

    Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large saucepan. Sauté onion until fragrant and translucent, for about 2-3 minutes.

    2

    Add in chopped vegetables and cook for another 2 minutes.

    3

    Add in the marinara sauce, red lentils, and water, and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover, simmering lentils until they are tender, about 18-20 minutes.

    4

    Serve warm atop pasta. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to four days (perfect for freezing too!)

    Notes
    • Use gluten-free pasta if needed. My favorite is Trader Joes' brown rice spaghetti.
