Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under running water.
Add lentils, tomato, carrot, garlic (if using), and water to a small pan and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes until lentils are very soft and breaking down.
Meanwhile, cook pasta separately in unsalted water until very soft, then drain.
Stir olive oil into the lentil mixture and mash or blend into a soft, thick sauce.
Combine pasta with the sauce and mix well to coat evenly.
Cool to lukewarm before serving.
Not suitable for this age — wait until 9 months.
Serve as a soft, saucy pasta with very well-cooked small shapes. Ensure pasta is soft and coated; mash lightly or cut pieces if needed.
