Best Zucchini Lentil Pasta Sauce Vegetarian Recipes
SICILIAN LENTIL PASTA SAUCE
This is a very nice, thick sauce. It has a meat taste, without the meat. Nice and hearty, great with a crusty bread on a cold, Fall day.

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.

ZUCCHINI LENTIL PASTA SAUCE (VEGETARIAN)
I wanted to eat something vegetarian for dinner for a change, especially after a dinner of bratwurst soup the night before. I'm also fighting candida, so I wanted something with an immune boost, thus the 4 cloves of garlic and cayenne powder. I also used spelt pasta instead of regular pasta due to the lower gluten content. My husband, who doesn't like veggie meals very much, said it was really good!

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.
