Preparation

Cook the Puy lentils. Mince the garlic cloves. Finely chop the fresh parsley.

Method

  1. 1 Heat the 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and pan-fry the mushrooms, tossing occasionally, until caramelised.
  2. 2 Add the sofrito mix and oregano, turn down the heat and cook for a further 10 minutes, until the veg softens and becomes lightly caramelised.
  3. 3 Add the Cook With M&S roasted garlic and mushroom paste and cook for another 5 minutes.
  4. 4 Add the chopped tomatoes and stock, then simmer for another 20 minutes. Add the lentils and cook until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, so you have a rich ragu.
  5. 5 Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
  6. 6 Meanwhile, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan and, once hot, add the grated garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the breadcrumbs and toast until golden, then stir through the parsley and take off the heat.
  7. 7 Serve the ragu tumbled through the pasta, topped with the breadcrumbs.
