this sauce is high in protein and fiber as well as in
flavor. If you like a thick pasta sauce, this is it.

onions mushrooms and garlic adding a bit of water to
prevent sticking. Cook until tender, about 5 min. Add
lentils and water. Bring to a boil stirring
occasionally. Reduce heat to low and cover and cook
for 40 min. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a

more water if a thinner sauce is desired. Serve over
