In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add vegetables and garlic. Sauté about 5 minutes.
Add lentils and water to vegetables and bring to a boil, stirring to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of your pan. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until lentils are just getting tender.
Stir in tomato sauce seasonings. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Sauce should be quite thick, but if it is too thick, add a spoonful or two of water.
Serve with your favorite pasta (and parmesan cheese, if using), and enjoy!
