Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. If using dry lentils, bring to a boil in 5 cups of water. Simmer, covered, until very tender, even mushy. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together oats, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir in lentils. Stir in crumbled cheese, beaten eggs, and spaghetti sauce. Pour into a greased 9 x 5 loaf pan.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about1 hour 20 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out free of raw egg and the loaf is fairly solid.
  4. A slice of lentil loaf also makes a good sandwich filling.
  5. When I want to make a large batch of lentil loaf to freeze for packed lunches, I prepare a double or triple batch of the recipe, and pour it into large muffin cups. I bake the mini-loaves for about 40 minutes or until solid, cool them on cookie racks, and freeze them in a ziploc bag or individual plastic containers. When I leave for work, I grab a lentil-mini loaf and a vegetable side dish and go. These mini-loaves reheat well in a microwave. They are also good served at room temperature.
