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.
