Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ cup brown lentils
2 carrots, sliced
1 rib celery, sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound dry fettuccine pasta
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 (8 ounce) can diced tomatoes
kosher salt to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Place lentils, carrots, and celery into the pot, reduce heat to low, and let simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving 2 cups of salted vegetable water. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, mix, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
  • While pasta cooks, heat remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic in the hot oil until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in reserved salted vegetable water, mix, and add lentil mixture. Season sauce with kosher salt. Drain pasta.
  • Divide pasta among plates, top with sauce, and serve.

The sauce was too thick for my liking, but the flavors were great. I'll try thinning it out with some water next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.
