Method

1
Prep everything first: wash and trim the peppers and mushrooms, then measure out the sauce ingredients.
-
2
Cook the gluten-free pasta for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, and rinse briefly to stop it sticking.

3
Simmer the cooked green lentils with a splash of stock for 5 minutes until they absorb the flavours.

Gently fry the garlic in the olive oil, add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 10-12 minutes until rich. Tear in the basil at the end.

Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the peppers and mushrooms for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.
