This is the pasta sauce that Donna made in the Simple Living class in March - Donna made it in a pressure cooker - I make it in a slow cooker so that is the way it's written here. But talk to Donna for how to adapt to a pressure cooker.
Red Lentil Pasta Sauce
1 cup red lentils
1 onion - chopped
2 teasp minced garlic
1/2 cup tomato paste
4 large tomatoes chopped
1 tablespoon rosemary - or more
2 tablespoons chopped basil - or more
grated rind of 1 lemon
4 cups stock - chicken or veg - or even just water
Put all the ingredients into a pre heated slow cooker and cook on low for 4 -5 hours or high for 2 -3 hours.
I usually use around 750 gm of pasta for this and we always have leftovers.
We sometimes add green olives, sun dried tomatoes, grated cheese or feta cheese.

Using the pressure cooker I followed the recipe just reducing the water by about 1/2 cup. Cooked for 8 minutes on high pressure with natural release. Then only adding fresh shaved Parmesan cheese on top. This recipe also does nicely with rice if you are out of pasta.
