  • 6 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 8 oz box of Portobello Mushrooms diced
  • 1/4 cup Red Lentils uncooked
  • 1 15 oz can of Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 15 oz can of Tomato Sauce
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 2 leaves Bay leaves
  • 2 cups Vegetable broth
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pan, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat it over medium heat high heat.
    Add the chopped onions and sauté it for 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly brown in the edges.Add the minced garlic and diced mushrooms.
    Cook for another 5 minutes till all the moisture from the mushroom has evaporated and the garlic is fragrant. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, red lentils, dried oregano and basil, bay leaves, salt and pepper and 2 cups of vegetables broth. Bring it to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the red lentils have soaked up most of the liquid and are completely cooked though.
    You might have to add about ¼ cup of water or broth, if the sauce becomes too thick. Once you are happy with the consistency of the sauce, pour it into as separate container, keeping a little bit in the pan.
    Boil the bow-tie pasta in a large pot of salted water, according to the packet instructions. The pasta should be al dente. Drain the pasta and return it to the pan and toss to coat each bow-tie in the residual sauce left in the pan.
    Divide the pasta in serving bowl. Ladle over the reserved sauce. Sprinkle some vegan parmesan, or VioLife Vegan Cheddar Shreds and fresh basil and serve right away.
