Sicilian Lentil Pasta Sauce (vegan)

Submission is the divine calling of a wife to honor and affirm her husband’s leadership and help carry it through according to her gifts… It’s the disposition to follow a husband’s authority, and an inclination to yield to his leadership. It is an attitude that says, “I delight for you to take the initiative in our family. I am glad when you take responsibility for things and lead with love. I don’t flourish in the relationship when you are passive and I have to make sure the family works.”

sauce, this is it. In a large nonstick sauce pan over medium heat add
onions mushrooms and garlic adding a bit of water to prevent  sticking.
Cook until tender, about 5 min. Add lentils and water.  Bring to a boil
stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and cover  and cook for 40
min. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.  Cover and cook 20
min stirring occasionally. add more water if a  thinner sauce is
desired. Serve over pasta or rice. Note: in the  original recipe it
