    WHAT YOU NEED
    1 cup dried lentils, cooked⁣
    5 1/2 cups water⁣
    1 large onion, chopped⁣
    4 celery stalks, finely chopped⁣
    2 T olive oil⁣
    5 cloves garlic, minced⁣
    3 T tomato paste⁣
    3 T water⁣
    3 cups marinara pasta sauce⁣
    3/4 cup almond milk⁣
    3 bay leaves⁣
    2 t salt, more to taste if needed⁣
    1 1/2 cup whole walnuts, chopped small until a “ground meat like consistency”.⁣
    2 8 oz packages of spaghetti noodles⁣

    HOW TO MAKE
    Begin by rinsing your lentils under water and placing in a large saucepan with your water. Bring to a boil, and reduce to simmer for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Draining any excess water if there is any. Don’t over cook where they turn mushy!⁣
    ⁣
    Add chopped onion to a skillet with oil on medium heat and saute until fragrant. Add in the celery and garlic and sauté about 3 minutes.⁣
    Add the tomato paste + 3 T water and stir until smooth and incorporated. ⁣
    ⁣
    Add marinara pasta sauce, milk, salt, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook down for about 15 minutes.⁣
    ⁣
    Meanwhile put on a pot of water to boil the noodles.⁣
    ⁣
    If sauce is too thick, add 1/4 cup of pasta water to thin out to desired consistency otherwise add in the lentils and walnuts, tossing to combine.⁣
