โ–ถ๏ธ LENTIL PASTA RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (4 to 5 servings)

1 cup / 200g Brown Lentils (soaked for 8 hour or overnight)
3 Tablespoon Olive Oil
200g / 1+1/2 cup Onion – chopped
150g / 1 cup Celery – chopped in small pieces
150g / 1 cup Carrots – chopped in small pieces
150g / 1 cup Red Pepper – chopped in small pieces
1+1/2 Tablespoon Garlic – finely chopped
1/2 Teaspoon Dry Oregano
1/2 Teaspoon Dry Thyme
1/2 Teaspoon Dry Rosemary
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (OPTIONAL)
Salt to taste (I have added total 1+1/2 Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt to this dish)
3 cups / 700ml Water
2 cups / 475ml Passata / Tomato Puree
3 cups / 700ml Vegetable Broth / Stock (LOW SODIUM)
200g / 1+1/2 cup Dry Ditalini Pasta
25g / 1/2 cup Parsley – finely chopped
Ground Black Pepper to taste (I added 1/2 Teaspoon)
OPTIONAL – Lemon Juice to taste (I added 1/2 Tablespoon of lemon juice)
(NOTE: Lemon juice is optional – taste the pasta first and ADD ONLY IF NEEDED)

๐Ÿ‘‰ GARLIC OIL TEMPERING:
1+1/2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Chopped Garlic
1/4 to 1/2 Teaspoon Chili Flakes

โ–ถ๏ธ METHOD:

Soak the brown lentils for 8 to 10 hours or overnight. Once soaked rinse it well, strain and set it aside.

Heat a large pot. Add onion, carrot, celery, red bell pepper, 1/4 tsp salt and fry on medium heat until the vegetables are lightly browned. Adding salt will help release water from the vegetables and help it cook faster so please don’t skip this step. The goal is to slightly brown the veggies as it will add a lot of flavour to the dish. It takes about 7 minutes. Now add the chopped garlic, dry oregano, thyme, rosemary , cayenne, and fry for another 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add the soaked brown lentils, 1/2 tsp salt and water. Mix well, cover the lid and bring to a vigorous boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the lentils are soft but still holds it’s shape.

Once the lentils are cooked, add the passata/tomato puree, vegetable broth and mix. Cover and bring to a boil. Now add the dry ditalini pasta and salt to taste. Cover the lid and cook for about 3 minutes. Then uncover and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat. Undercook the pasta by 5 minutes because it will continue to cook in the hot liquid even after turn off the heat. Add the parsley, black pepper, lemon juice (optional) and mix well. Lemon juice is optional – taste the pasta first and add only if needed.

๐Ÿ‘‰ โœ… PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE UNDER COOKING THE PASTA BY 5 MINUTES BECAUSE THE PASTA WILL CONTINUE TO COOK AND SOAK UP THE HOT LIQUID EVEN AFTER TURNING OFF THE HEAT.

For garlic oil tempering: Add the garlic and olive oil to a small pan and fry on medium to medium-low heat for a few seconds. Add the chili flakes and fry until the garlic JUST STARTS to brown. IMMEDIATELY REMOVE FROM HEAT AND ADD IT TO THE COOKED PASTA. Mix well and serve hot with a green side salad.

โ–ถ๏ธ IMPORTANT TIPS:

๐Ÿ‘‰ How to know if the lentils are soaked well? You should be able to cut a lentil piece with your nails, effortlessly. If not, then soak longer

๐Ÿ‘‰ Adding salt while frying the onion and vegetables will help it cook faster it’s an important step so please do not skip it

๐Ÿ‘‰ UNDER COOK THE PASTA BY 5 MINUTES BECAUSE THE PASTA WILL CONTINUE TO COOK AND SOAK UP THE HOT LIQUID even after turn off the heat

๐Ÿ‘‰ LEMON JUICE IS OPTIONAL – taste the pasta first and add only if needed

๐Ÿ‘‰ Every stove is different so adjust/regulate the heat and cooking time accordingly

  1. Hello Friends! There's a detailed written recipe for you in the description box of this video. As always, I love to hear from you guys! Let me know if you try this recipe ๐Ÿ˜Š

  2. One thing I want to say as a medical vegan. Try learning to cook without oils if you are your family have heart disease. Oils, I don't care what type it is bad news for us. I took a nine week course called Ornish Life Styles after a widow maker a week in a coma and told once they woke me up I might last 6 months because of heart failure. Cardiologist ask me if I would try the program. I did and that was ten years ago and am still an Ornish Vegan. Remember NO oil if you have CAD not even olive.

  3. I'm definitely going to try this, healthy and economical โ˜บ๏ธ. Can this recipe go in the freezer? Thanks so much

  4. We cook curry n other stuff with lentil but never pasta. Good variation of lentil or dhall as we call it. Tq for sharing. Greetings from Malaysia ๐ŸŽ‰

  5. What great recipes โค

  6. Great recipe, and it's a hit here at home, but you posted this exact video a year ago, recipe and all.

  7. FYI. I donโ€™t soak lentils. Itโ€™s way faster to cook them on the pressure cooker for a half hour and youโ€™re done.

  8. This recipe looks absolutely delicious ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ‘ Greetings from Ireland ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

  9. Good n well done with ur recipe, 1 pot Lentil Pasta, with dood combination of ingredients/spices added to it. Looking perfect , thank u.
    .

  10. Not really one pot if you're using a frying pan as well. Looks like a cross between a vegetable soup and a pasta. Can imagine it tastes very good. Certainly nutritious.

  11. Masoor dal is what we call the lentil in Hindi. It's a staple in most North Indian homes. This is a lovely twist to our traditional khichdi where the base is lentil and rice is added instead of pasta. Thanks for sharing ๐Ÿ˜Š
