Lentil Marinara

Ingredients

• Pasta
• Cooked dark lentils
• Tomato sauce
• Mushrooms
• Lemon juice
• Garlic and spices to taste, add cumin and a tsp of coco powder if possible

Directions

1. Saute mushrooms with a bit of lemon juice.
2. Add tomato sauce, garlic and spices in saucepan, then add lentils, let heat up together.
3. Cook pasta in instant pot or boiling water. Add dried pasta and water to nearly cover the pasta. A few pieces of pasta sticking above the water line is ok. You don’t want to cook it in too much water because that lengthens the time it takes to heat.
4. Set the Instant Pot to the cooking time of 0 minutes
5. Once it comes up to pressure and hits 0 minutes, let the pressure naturally release for 3 minutes. This reads as L 00:03 on the Instant Pot.
6. Then release the remaining pressure manually.
