Writer Notes
On the present time I am so angry to fragment my maintain on classic pasta sauce- a straightforward, nutrient packed, and hearty sauce match for those craving consolation food flavors without the consolation food energy (sugar, sodium, gluten). By adding fiber and protein packed crimson lentils, rustically chopped and nourishing eggplant and tomato, and expansive handfuls of leafy kale or spinach, you straight elevated your jar of crimson sauce to a balanced, flavorful, and straightforward one-pot vegan meal. I back my Loaded Crimson Sauce over brown rice spaghetti or total wheat pasta, topped with 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts.
