PREPARATION

• 1

  Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

  Stir in the tomato paste and cook briefly to deepen its flavor, then add the crushed tomatoes.

  Add the sliced mushrooms and bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing the mushrooms to release their moisture and soften, about 5 minutes.

• 6

  Stir in the cooked lentils and let the ragu simmer for another 3-4 minutes so the flavors meld together.

  Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and dried herbs if desired. Stir in the nutritional yeast for an extra umami boost.

  Toss the cooked pasta into the ragu, mixing well so that the pasta is evenly coated. Serve warm.
