    1 Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the onion and carrots for 5–8 minutes until soft. Add the garlic, paprika and cumin and cook for another 3 minutes. Add the tomato purée and canned tomatoes, and season with freshly ground black pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add lentils and stir to combine.

    2 While sauce is cooking, cook pasta in a pan of boiling water according to packet instructions. Drain, reserving some of the pasta cooking water.

    3 Add the drained pasta to the sauce, along with a little of the reserved pasta water if needed. Stir well and serve garnished with basil if you like.
