I thought this recipe was good. The sauce was flavorful and the lentils were cooked well. I would make it again, but I might add some more vegetables to it next time.

This recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I wasn't a fan of this recipe. The sauce was bland and the lentils were mushy. I wouldn't recommend it.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I like to serve it over spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles for a healthier option.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used canned lentils to save time and it still turned out great. I served it over whole wheat pasta and it was a healthy and satisfying meal.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner. It's easy to make and the leftovers are great for lunch or dinner the next day. I like to add a little bit of red pepper flakes for a bit of spice.
