Cook lentils according to package instructions, but do not salt water! Make the sauce as the lentils cook.
Preheat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once oil is warm, add garlic, then onions. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until softened.
*Add fire roasted tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, parsley, basil and spices. Raise heat so the sauce begins to boil, then reduce to a simmer. The sauce will begin to thicken slightly as it reduces down after about 10 minutes.
Add cooked lentils to the sauce and mix to combine. Taste the sauce and adjust spices to taste. Allow sauce to cook for another 10 minutes.
Spiralize zucchini and cook in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add black pepper, to taste. Alternatively, prepare pasta according to package instructions.
Once zucchini noodles are cooked through, but not soggy, remove from heat, plate and top with lentil bolognese.
Enjoy!
Notes
*Alternatively you can use your favorite prepared tomato/marinara sauce with no added sugar (preferably!)
