Love Those Lentils: How to Make Spinach & Lentils in a Veggie Tomato Sauce! by Samantha Martin

Lentils treated like a yummy pasta dish? Yes! I had leftover lentils and a batch of veggie tomato sauce, and it turned into a delicious vegan lunch.

You'll need:

• lentils
• veggie tomato sauce (recipe below)
• spinach
• olive oil
• vegan mozzarella
• garlic salt

Here's how to make it:

1. Cook the lentils as directed and set aside.
2. If you plan on making your own veggie tomato sauce start that process. I made a big batch and saved in the fridge to have on hand for these occasions. For the sauce, in a food processor add a large can of tomatoes and whatever veggies you choose to blend. I did spinach and broccoli, then added seasonings like garlic salt, onion powder, basil and nutritional yeast. Set sauce aside.
3. Cook spinach in a sauté pan with olive oil and salt. Once it wilts down add in the lentils and the sauce. Stir to thoroughly mix together. 
4. Turn off the heat and add vegan mozzarella (I like Daiya mozzarella shreds). Melt and add garlic salt.
