4. Add lentils[I like the orange ones] and 3 cups water to the vegetables.

5. Turn up the heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 45 to 60 minutes.

7. Stir in tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar, and 1/2 cup water.

8. Bring to a boil.

9. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

10. If necessary, add more water to keep the sauce from sticking.

11. Be careful not to dilute; the sauce should be quite thick.
