I made a great pasta sauce this week and you would never know it's good for you! I got the idea from a friend who adds lentils to store bought spaghetti sauce. I blended together one can of lentils and one can of tomatoes. Both cans were approximately the same size, and I think this would work better in a food processor than using the immersion blender. Then I stirred in a can of chicken breast. I used italian flavoured tomatoes and they were a bit too sweet for this, so I tried to compensate for that by adding vinegar to the sauce. Also threw in some chili flakes. Next time I'll also add some oregano or taco seasoning.

This sauce is really nice and thick and resembles a restaurant prepared meat sauce. I ate it on pasta initially, but I have also made sandwiches with it and jalapeno flavoured soy cheese, then baked it for a bit to melt the cheese. Next plan is to use it for burrito filling. I think it would also be great in lasagna and I might try that this weekend, especially since I still have so much left!
