Method
-
In a deep pot, heat olive oil over a medium heat. Add onion, garlic, chilli, carrot, celery, zucchini and mushrooms to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes or until veggies begin to soften.
-
Add dried lentils, tinned tomatoes and vegetable stock and season with salt, pepper and dried oregano.
-
Leave to simmer for 15 minutes or until lentils are completely cooked. Add pasta and cook for 5 minutes or until al dente. If it's looking like it needs more liquid, add 1/2 a cup at a time until the lentils are fully cooked.

In the final few minutes, add basil and parmesan cheese.

Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
