A bowl of pasta

Note: Serving sizes may vary. I cook with what I have, for those who need food at the time.

Recipe~ (2-3 servings)

Ingredients:

- 3 carrots

- 2/3 eggplant

- 1/3 zucchini

- 1 tomato

- 1 small can tomato concentrate

- 1/3 tofu, fried

- 2 white mushrooms

- Olive oil

- 1 tbs lentils

- 2-3 portions spirelli pasta

- Italian seasoning

- Paprika powser

- Mushroom seasoning (kinda like a soup base... it's Asian stuff, I don't know how to describe it)

- Salt, sugar to taste

- A few leaves of basil

Procedure:

1. Dice everything.

2. Cook the lentils according to the package. Meanwhile, boil the carrots and eggplants. Cook the pasta according to package instructions.

3. Cook the tomatoes in oil until liquefied. Add in the now tender eggplants and carrots, along with the tofu, mushrooms, and zucchini. Reserve the water in which you cooked the eggplants and carrots.

4. Add the tomato concentrate. If too thick, add the water reserved in step 3. That will keep the sauce from tasting watery. Add in lentils.

5. Season with the seasoning mentioned in Ingredients, to taste.

6. Serve and top with basil~ Enjoy!
