PASTA SAUCE - VEGAN

Steps:

• Mix celery, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, carrot, basil, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until the vegetables are evenly coated in seasonings.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until onion is soft and garlic is light golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Add vegetable mixture to the skillet; cook and stir until hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
• Combine tomatoes and 1/4 cup red wine in a large pot over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften, 15 to 20 minutes.

• Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
• While pasta cooks, heat remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic in the hot oil until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in reserved salted vegetable water, mix, and add lentil mixture. Season sauce with kosher salt. Drain pasta.
