3 Stir in pesto and dried tomatoes with ½ cup water and wine. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. 4 Add lentils and cherry tomatoes
and cook on a low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste.
5 Meanwhile, in a saucepan, cook spaghetti following packet instructions, until al dente. Drain. Add pine nuts and basil and toss lightly.
6 To serve, divide spaghetti among 4 bowls, top with bolognese and parmesan and season with black pepper.
