Start by finely chopping your small onion. You can use a veggie chopper to make this easier and quicker or chop using a knife and cutting board, per preference.

Boil some water and cook your pasta according to the instructions on the packaging.

While your pasta is cooking, add some avocado oil to a medium dutch oven or large pan over medium heat. when your oil is hot, add in your chopped onions and saute for 2-3 minutes until they start to become translucent and soften.

Once your onions appear cooked through, lower your heat and then add in your package of steamed lentils, and use a wooden spoon to break the lentils apart. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir occasionally until your lentils appear heated through. Next, add in your jar of creamy autumnal harvest pasta sauce. Stir again and cook for 1-2 minutes until your pasta sauce is completely heated through.

Drain your pasta and then add the pasta into the pan with the sauce. Mix until everything is well combined. Serve with a side salad or veggie of choice. Garnish with grated parmesan, if using and enjoy!

Hint: Reserve ¼ cup of pasta water and add into your sauce before adding in your pasta. The pasta water's starch content can thicken the sauce and help it to bind to the pasta and it also can improve the overall texture of jarred pasta sauces!
