Yöntemler

Place all the fresh vegetables and walnuts if using (onion, carrot, celery, pepper, garlic & mushrooms) into a food processor and pulse for a few seconds until finely chopped.

Place a large saucepan over a medium heat and add the olive oil, bay leaves, herbs and chopped vegetables, sauté for 10-15 mins until soft, lightly golden and liquid has evaporated.

Add the tomato puree, soy sauce and miso if using. Stir to combine and cook for a further minute.

Stir in the lentil, tinned tomatoes, breaking them down with the spoon and the vegetable stock.

Season well to taste and stir to combine. Continue to simmer gently for about 10 mins, or until the sauce has begun to reduce.

With about 10 mins cooking time left, cook the pasta per packet instructions.

Drain nearly all the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the water.

Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and stir to combine, add a few splashes of the reserved pasta water to help thicken and coat the pasta with the sauce.

Divide the pasta between 4 large bowls and serve topped with your toppings/ sides of choice. Enjoy!
