Method (preview)

1. 1

   Heat the olive oil and fry the onions till they're soft then add the pepper and the mushrooms and the garlic and cook.

2. 2

   You can also add anything else at this stage that seems a good thing, a courgette (zucchini if you're American) or even a chilli chopped very fine.

3. 3

   Mix in everything else and then bring to the boil and cook until the liquid has mostly gone and you are left with a nice thick spicy sauce and the lentils are soft.

4. 4

   Cook the pasta till it's just cooked and put it in the bottom of an oven dish, spoon the lentil mix on top and then on the top put the beaten eggs/white sauce mix and then sprinke the cheese (and also some breadcrumbs if you like a bit of a crunch like me) and put it all in the oven for about 30 - 40 minutes or until it's nice and brown on top.
