I make this all the time. I use stewed canned tomatoes because it help saves time from using whole canned tomatoes, and then having to break it up. You can easily double it or halve it if you like.

VEGETARIAN PASTA SAUCE WITH KIDNEY BEANS AND WHOLE WHEAT PASTA

Vegetarian Pasta Sauce with Kidney Beans and whole wheat pasta image

This is a recipe adapted from the net. We make a lot of different cuisines at home but my friends say I have a touch for Italian cuisine. Funnily enough I myself have never tasted authentic Italian cuisine. There are good Italian restaurants but we do not eat out much. No inclination as my hubby says I make better stuff at home. Very good excuse not to take me out and keep me happy with the complement too! ;)I have married a wonderful and smart man! I don't complain as cooking is a passion with me.

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion (diced)
6 medium cloves garlic (minced)
2 teaspoons kosher salt + more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 28-ounce cans whole San Marzano tomatoes
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon vegan-friendly granulated sugar
1 cup French green lentils (rinsed)
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 15-ounce can small red beans or red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Large sprig of fresh basil

Steps:

Set a large pot over medium heat. When hot, add the olive oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for one more minute.
Squeeze the tomatoes to crush and add them to the pot along with the juices from the can. Add the water and honey and stir to combine. Add the lentils. Increase heat to bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are almost cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Stir in the beans and the sprig of basil and continue to cook until thick and rich, about 5-10 more minutes. Remove basil. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
Serve over your favorite pasta (we're partial to whole wheat spaghetti with this sauce), spooned over spaghetti squash, or in a baked sweet potato.
Sauce keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for 2-3 days. It also freezes very well.
