CORN SPAGHETTI WITH RED LENTILS SAUCE

I call these spaghetti "traditional bolognese", even though red lentils sauce might not be well known. I love this balanced combination of herbs, garlic and tomato sauce. I usually use corn spaghetti to make gluten free meal, but also wheat or any other pasta will work.
