Bulking food out with lentils?

right I need some help if possible, I have a pack of dried, no soak lentils, they say to boil for 10 mins then simmer for 50.
My plan was to add them to my lasagne/bolognaise sauce to bulk it out, do I need to make the lentils seperately then add to sauce or can I chuck lentils in pan with sauce once mince is browned? If so then do I need to add extra water or anything? will be using a long ago bought jar of red lasagne sauce plus some passatta to stretch it for more meals. Should I add anything else? herbs?
Any tips gratefully received.
