In reply to Kathy. Hi Kathy, you could totally freeze this sauce!

Have you tried freezing the sauce? I’m a vegetarian and my husband is the exact opposite. I’m always trying to find recipes that I can package for one person. I love lentil-mushroom “meatballs,” but they take more planning.

It is always nice to see creative versions of classic pasta dishes. Adding vegetables to spaghetti makes it more nutritious while still keeping the dish comforting and enjoyable.

In reply to Stephanie Bric. Hi Stephanie, I would increase the walnuts by 1/2 cup if you're skipping the mushrooms. You could also add some chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce when you add the lentils to make up for the missing umami. Alternatively, you might like this pasta recipe, which is mushroom-free!

I’m allergic to mushrooms (so sad!). Any other substitutes or just prepare with same omitted

This is just flat out fantastic! I recommend overcooking the lentil a bit. It allows for them to partly dissolve as part of the sauce.

This dish checked all the boxes! It was delicious, healthy, and easy to make. The flavors and textures were really nice.

I followed the recipe precisely (except for using a whole onion and doubling the tomatoes). Topping it off with shreds of basil, grated parmesan, toasted pine nuts, and chili flakes added a nice touch.
