Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 c Chopped onions

2 c Sliced mushrooms

3 Garlic cloves -- finely choppe

1 c Uncooked dried lentils

3 c Water

16 oz Canned tomato sauce -- no salt

6 oz Tomato paste

1 1/2 teaspoons Sugar

1/2 c Water

 

1. Thick and rich with mushrooms, lentils and spices, this sauce is

high in protein and fiber as well as in flavor. If you like a thick

pasta sauce, this is it. In a large nonstick sauce pan over medium

heat add onions mushrooms and garlic adding a bit of water to prevent

sticking.

 

2. Cook until tender, about 5 min. Add lentils and water. Bring to a

boil stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and cover and cook for

40 min. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Cover and cook

20 min stirring occasionally. add more water if a thinner sauce is

desired. Serve over pasta or rice.

 

Note: in the original recipe it called for sauteing the onions &

mushrooms in 2 t of olive oil. You can do this but it will increase

the cal & fat %
