Instructions
Get a pot of water onto a rolling boil (add a bit of salt).
Heat a non-stick frypan on medium-high. Add the onion, garlic and beef. Stir constantly, breaking up the beef until the beef is browned and the onion is clear.
Add lentils and chopped tomatoes to the pan. Once bubbling, reduce to a simmer.
Add mixed herbs (to taste: I use about 2 teaspoons), spinach and grated veggies.
While the sauce is cooking, cook pasta in the boiling water, following the packet instructions.
Drain pasta, and divide it among four plates.
Top pasta with your meat and lentil sauce, and garnish with basil and parmesan.
Notes
If desired, add: grated carrot zucchini, etc. We used sliced bell pepper, mushrooms, and zucchini.
