Ingredients
285g/10 oz green lentils
1.15 litres/2 pints light vegetable stock
285g/10oz sliced onion
680g/1.5 lb cubed courgette
680g/1.5 lb chopped tomatoes
4 tbsp rapeseed or other vegetable oil
5 crushed garlic cloves
2 tsp dried rosemary
565g/1.25 lb spaghetti (preferably brown)
Instructions
Boil lentils with vegetable stock until they are just cooked: about 30 minutes. If extra water is required add just enough to cover lentils. Once cooked drain off any excess water.
Meanwhile place onion, courgette, tomatoes, rosemary, vegetable oil and garlic in an ovenproof dish. Mix well and bake in pre-heated oven at 220ºC/425ºF/ gas mark 7 for 20 minutes. Turn halfway through with a spatula.
Mix the roasted vegetables in with the lentils and cook gently for 5–10 minutes.
Loving your recipes! Would like to make large quantities to freeze, is that possible with all main meal recipes?
Thanks

Hi Sheila
We’re very happy to hear you like our recipes!
That recipe would certainly be suitable for freezing, apart from the spaghetti – you really want to cook this fresh. I’m not sure all the recipes in the main meal section would lend themselves to freezing though. Stews and soups, sauces, pies, bakes would all be okay. I’m not sure things like the Baked Sweet Potatoes with Avocado Salsa or stir fry dishes would be as good from frozen.
