For Thadd and Lisa who requested a write-up!
- 1 Jar of Organic Pasta Sauce (keep the sugar and added ingredients down)
- 1 Can stewed tomatoes poor in the whole can
- I add about 1/2 Cup of red wine to every cup, cup and 1/2 of sauce
- Then add about two cups of cooked lentils (can buy already cookedby the lettuce at Trader Joes)
- I sauté some mushrooms and add those
- Then I just start adding veggies, I like it thick and loaded. I also use a Nicer Dicer (yes as seen on tv) because all the veggies are then in small bits and uniform in size (I have a bit of a type A thing going, I just hide it well)
- I will usually add 1 green bell pepper, 1 red bell pepper, 1/2 red onion and sometimes zucchini
- Let simmer for 2 – 3 hours
(When using meat, or if making for people who eat meat) Italian seasoning in your meat, brown/cook meat……and then add to sauce Also this is a super easy thing to do if you have vegetarians and meat eaters because you can do one batch with lentils and one batch with meat and then dump over pasta, serve with salad and bread!!!
