SICILIAN LENTIL PASTA SAUCE image

Categories     Squash     Tomato     Mushroom

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup onion, chopped
2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 recipe - 1 small zucchini, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup dry lentils
3 1/2 cups (divided) water
2 cans (8 ounce) tomato sauce
1 can (6 ounce) tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and garlic. Cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add lentils and 3 cups water to vegetables. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Stir in tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • If necessary, add more water to keep the sauce from sticking. Be careful not to dilute; the sauce should be quite thick.

Overall, I thought this was a good recipe. It was easy to make and the sauce was flavorful. However, I would probably make a few changes next time, such as adding more vegetables and using less salt.

I found that the sauce was a bit too thick for my liking. I added some water to thin it out.
