Roushta - lentils and pasta

From my latest addition of books a Lebanese feast, it was given to me for my birthday by my dearest friend that happens to know me very well 💙

Ingredients:

250g brown lentils

1.5 l water

2 medium onions, chopped 

4 cloves crushed garlic

olive oil

parsley

200g pasta

Soak the lentils in cold water for at least two hours.

In a big pot, pour in 4 Tbsp olive oil, add the onions and cook until soft.

Add the lentils and 1.5 boiling water.

Cook the lentils until soft, about 20 - 30 minutes.

Add your favorite pasta shape, I used pappardelle.

Season with salt and pepper.

Before serving add some more parsley and extra virgin olive oil....
