Red Lentil Spaghetti Sauce image

I got this from a book called Quick Fix Vegetarian. The recipes are all wonderful and fast to make. I felt a little funny about lentils in my spaghetti sauce but I need not have worried. This sauce is delicious and rich. Not only is it good the day you make it, but it is even better the next day after the flavors get a chance to gel.
