Preparation of Lentil Pasta with Two Tomatoes

First, immediately start boiling water for the pasta. When it boils, salt it and throw in the lentil pasta, just like traditional pasta.
Now wash the cherry tomatoes well, then cut them in half and place them in a large pan.
Add the tomato sauce and a pinch of sugar.
Cook for 5 minutes over medium/low heat.
After 5 minutes of cooking, add garlic, chopped rosemary, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt to the tomatoes.
Cook on low heat for another 2/3 minutes.
When the lentil pasta is almost done, drain it and place it directly in the pan with the sauce.
Add the olive oil, stir and let the lentil pasta with two tomatoes absorb the flavors until cooking is finished.
And voila… now the lentil pasta is ready to be served and impress your guests.
Vegan or not, you’ll see what a great impression it makes!
