Lentil Spaghetti
Vegan Era
.
This is another great meal that the young ones love. They get to slop it and slurp all night long – the only thing is – it might be a mess for you to clean though!
Compared to other types of dried beans, lentils are relatively quick and easy to prepare. They readily absorb a variety of wonderful flavors from other foods and seasonings, are high in nutritional value and are available throughout the year.
Lentils are legumes along with other types of beans. They grow in pods that contain either one or two lentil seeds that are round, oval or heart-shaped disks and are oftentimes smaller than the tip of a pencil eraser.
Ingredients:
4 cups water
Dash salt
1 cup brown or french green lentils (not red)
olive oil
1 onion, sliced
3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (24 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
herbs, to taste (basil, marjoram, oregano, thyme, chives, etc.)
Cracked black pepper, to taste
Pinch sugar, or to taste
Small pinch tumeric
1 or 2 (8-ounce) packages whole wheat pasta (angel hair best), cooked and drained
Directions:
1. Fill a small pot with water. Add a dash of salt and lentils. (The lentils can be pulverized slightly in blender beforehand, if you like, meaning the lentils will cook faster.) Bring to boil over medium- high heat (second-highest setting), uncovered, stirring every few minutes, until lentils are tender (but not too mushy, if you didn't pulverize them).
2. While those cook, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry your onion until softened slightly. Add garlic and sauté for a minute or two more. Add tomato sauce and tomatoes. Turn down heat slightly. Add a splash more oil.
3. When lentils are tender, drain and add to the sauce. If the sauce seems to be drowning the lentils, cook for a little longer. If the lentils seem too thick, add some more tomato sauce.
4. Add herbs, black pepper, sugar, and tumeric. Serve over pasta (cooked via the package's instructions).
Makes: 5- to 6-ish servings, Preparation time: 10-ish minutes,
Cooking time: 30 to 45 minutes
ENJOY!!
