Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup dried brown lentils, rinsed and drained
1 (15 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 (15 ounce) can artichoke hearts in water
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, divided
¼ cup water
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
¼ pound thin spaghetti
4 green onions, chopped
½ teaspoon sesame seeds
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the lentils, tomatoes and artichokes (with the liquid from the cans), 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper and the water into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. Return pasta to pot and cover to keep warm.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat and cook green onions for about 3 minutes. Add 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper and sesame seeds and cook until the seeds are lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Add the lentil mixture to the pot of pasta and toss to distribute evenly. Add the green onion mixture and toss lightly again. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
