Lentil sauce and spaghetti (vg)
Ingredients
2 tablespoons of oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 clove of garlic, crushed
400g of canned tomatoes
225g of split red lentils
400ml of water
½ teaspoon of dried mixed herbs
½ teaspoon powdered cinnamon
Salt and pepper
Spaghetti (as much as you need)
Grated cheese to serve on to
Method
Heat the oil in a medium sized frying pan and fry the onion and garlic gently until tender
Add the tomatoes, lentils, water, herbs and cinnamon
Simmer until the lentils are soft (takes approximately 20mins). Make sure you keep an eye on the sauce as the lentils cook quickly
While the sauce is simmering, cook the spaghetti
When both the sauce and spaghetti are ready, plate and top with cheese
For anyone going to university, lentils are cheap and easy to cook. You can turn this sauce into soup by adding more water and removing the cinnamon.
