Lentils in a rich tomato sauce are a great alternative to meat-based bolognese recipes!
1 Put the onion and carrots in a pan with the olive oil and cook over a medium heat for 5–10 min until soft. Add the garlic, paprika and cumin and cook for another 3 min before adding the tomato purée, canned tomatoes and lentils with 250ml water and freshly ground black pepper. Cook for 30–35 min until the lentils are really soft.
2 While the sauce is cooking, cook the pasta in a pan of boiling water for 8–10 min until cooked. Drain, reserving some of the drained water.
3 Once the sauce is ready, add the drained pasta to the pan, along with a little of the reserved pasta water if needed. Give everything a really good stir and serve garnished with basil, if you like.
Try the sauce with rice or grain instead of pasta
