Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and leave to side.
Preheat a large pot to medium heat with olive oil, then add garlic, onion and red bell peppers to cook until softened.
Add in broth, canned crushed tomatoes, lentils, balsamic vinegar, tomato paste, italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, sea salt and black pepper.
Bring to a boil and then bring heat down to simmer uncovered until the lentils are tender and easily smashed with a fork, about 15 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom!
