Sicilian Lentil Pasta Sauce

Sicilian Lentil Pasta Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
  • 1 small zucchini, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup dry lentils
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1/2 cup water


  1. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and garlic. Cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
