Zucchini Lentil Pasta Sauce Vegetarian Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Chop up or grate all of your veggies. I used a garlic press and my food processor.
• Heat oil in a deep pan or wok. Add the onion and fry until translucent, add the garlic and fry for a few seconds to release the aroma.
• Add the tomatoes and zucchini. Simmer and stir occasionally, until the veggies begin to soften.
• Stir in the lentils and spices.
• Simmer for about half an hour with the lid on so the moisture stays inches.
• About 15 minutes into cooking, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Cook the pasta according to the directions. Also add the yogurt to the sauce at this time.
• Serve it and listen to the yummy noises.

Steps:

• Bring water, lentils, brown rice, and bouillon to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add bay leaf, cover, and cook until lentils and brown rice are tender, about 45 minutes.
• Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper. Cook and stir until onion is starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add zucchini and cook for 5 minutes.
• Stir the zucchini-onion mixture into the lentils and rice. Add tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, rosemary, oregano, and salt. Return to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until flavors meld, about 10 minutes.
