@freya My "signature" lentil pasta sauce recipe. I don't have exact measurements for anything but I'll do my best...

Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil (the cheap stuff will do)
- 1 small red onion, finely diced
- 2 sticks of celery, finely diced
- 2 tsp garlic paste (or 2 cloves if you like)
- 25g tomato purée
- 1 vegetable stock cube
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
- 100g red lentils
- 80g frozen sweetcorn

Makes 4 portions.

Method to follow!

Method
1. Heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the onions and celery and fry until soft.
2. Meanwhile, rinse and drain the lentils.
3. Add the garlic, mustard seeds, and tomato purée, stir, and cook for another few minutes.
4. Add the tinned tomato, stock cube, sweetcorn, and lentils. Add the water (tip: you can fill the empty tin with water and pour that in). Reduce the heat and cook for 30 minutes, or until the lentils are no longer firm.

You can also do the above in a slow cooker.
The first three steps should take an hour total on high heat.
The remaining step can be done for six hours on low, or three hours on high.
You can freeze the sauce separately, or prepare some pasta (75g per person) and freeze it all together.
