Note: You can either cook this meal in a slow cooker - if so, add all ingredients and leave on a low heat for 10 hours, or if cooking in a large saucepan, cook for 50 minutes on a low flame. Cooking using a saucepan:
- In a large saucepan add the oil, onion, carrots, textured vegetable protein, diced tomatoes, lentils, tomato pasta, rosemary, paprika and the water.
- Stir all the ingredients together and leave on a low to medium heat to simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- While waiting for the sauce to cooked, boil water in a medium sized pan. Once boiling, add the uncooked pasta and a pinch of salt to the pan. Leave for 10-15 minutes until cooked through.
- Once the sauce and pasta are both cooked, serve with parmesan cheese and fresh basil and enjoy!
