How to Prepare 15-Minute Lentil Tomato Pasta [Vegan]

Start by cooking the pasta according to the package's instructions.
Meanwhile, open the jar of pasta sauce and can of lentils. Drain and rinse the lentils.
When the pasta is done cooking, drain and return to the pot. Stir in the sauce and lentils. Place the pot over medium heat and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Alternatively, you can heat the pasta and lentils together in another small pot while the pasta is cooking, then add it to the cooked pasta. This will save you 5 minutes, but will take an extra pot.
Serve with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
