  1. 1

    Chop the portobello mushrooms into very small pieces, just under 1 cm. Do the same with the celery, the red carrot, the shallots and the fresh chili pepper.

  2. 2

    Put everything in a pan with a little Liquid Gold, together with the crushed garlic and a teaspoon of tomato paste. Fry briefly over high heat and stir well.

  3. 3

    After 5 minutes, add the vegetable stock, the red wine and the Yellow Friend juice. Let simmer for almost 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water until al dente.

  5. 5

    Add the drained lentils to the sauce, let simmer for another 5 minutes, then stir in the butter and a ladle of pasta water.

  6. 6

    Toss the cooked spaghetti through the sauce and divide over deep plates. Finish with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
