Instructions

1
Cook the pasta in a pot with boiling water for the time indicated in the instructions. Once cooked, drain, and set aside.
2
Thinly slice the onion and red bell pepper. Peel and slice the carrot as well.
3
Add some olive oil to a pan. Once it's hot add the vegetables you have just cut. Add a pinch of salt and cook on medium heat for 6-8 minutes.
4
Add the tomato sauce and 3 tablespoons of water. Cook on low heat for 5 more minutes. After this time add everything to the blender and blend until you have a smooth sauce.
5
Pour the sauce back into the pan again and then add the cooked lentils. Mix and integrate. If you think the sauce is too thick you can add a drizzle of water and/or more tomato sauce.
6
