As many of you know one our favourite meals is our JCS Saucy Pasta. It may look like tomato sauce on pasta – but you would be mistaken. The sauce is comprised of a whopping 10 vegetables, red lentils, fresh herbs and spices. 
 
Recipe for Saucy Pasta
2 cans of tinned diced tomatoes 
2 onions, dices
2 stalks of celery 
1/2 sml head broccoli (5-6 florets)
5-6 florets of cauliflower 
1/4 cup peas or beans
1/4 cup of corn
1 zucchini
1 carrots
1 cup mushrooms
1/3 cup red lentils 
5-6 cloves garlic
2 heaped tablespoons of tomato paste. 
Oregano, parsley, basil, chili flakes to taste
Salt and pepper to taste. 
 
Dice all vegetables roughly. 
Cook onions, celery and carrots until tender. 
Add in garlic, herbs, paste, S&P and fry for 1 minute.
Add in all other vegetables and lentil with the tinned tomatoes. Add in 1/4 cup of water at any time if moisture is needed. 
Cook for about 20 mins until vegetables and lentils are soft. 
Blend with a stick blender, letting sauce down with water to your desired thickness. 
 
Serve with pasta. 
Note- add spinach to make it a Florentine sauce. 
 
This along with the pasta and cheese make for a high fiber and protein meal.
