Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onions, carrots and fennel and cook over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onions start to brown. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Meanwhile, rinse and pick over the lentils to make sure there are no stones in the package.
- Add the tomatoes, lentils, chicken stock, curry powder, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pan. Raise the heat to bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer covered for about 40 minutes, until the lentils are tender. Check occasionally to be sure the liquid is still simmering. Remove from the heat and allow the lentils to sit covered for another 10 minutes. Add the vinegar, season to taste, and serve hot.
LENTIL-TOMATO SAUCE
Rich and hearty, this sauce adds extra fiber -- not to mention flavor -- to pasta. If you want to freeze this sauce, don't add the yogurt; to serve, reheat gently and stir in the yogurt just before tossing the sauce with the pasta.

Steps:
- In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add lentils and thyme; cook, stirring, until lentils are coated, about 2 minutes.
- Break up tomatoes using your hands or a spoon and then add along with puree. Add 4 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover tightly, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender and starting to break down, about 45 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. If eating right away, stir in yogurt.

LENTILS AND TOMATO SAUCE WITH MACARONI AND FRIED ONIONS
Always on the lookout for a good vegetarian recipe, I found this in Joy of Cooking. The whole family loved it -- even my picky husband -- and it's a good way to use up the lentils I always have left over after making lentil soup. Although the recipe calls for 3 cups of water, I highly recommend using 2 cups of vegetable broth and 1 cup of water to give this dish a richer flavor.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the diced onions and cook, stirring, until the onions are golden brown, about 20 minutes, being careful not to let them get too dark. Remove half of the onions and reserve. Stir the garlic into the remaining onions and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir the lentils and water (or water/broth combo) into the onion mixture. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the lentils are tender, about 25 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes, cumin, coriander, and allspice. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer, stirring to break up the tomatoes, until the mixture is thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water until tender but firm, about 10 minutes. Drain. Quickly dry the pasta cooking pot and add the reserved onions along with the cumin seeds. Cook, stirring over medium-high heat until the onions are sizzling. Add the drained macaroni and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasonings. To serve, spoon the macaroni into individual bowls and top with a ladleful of the spiced lentils. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes to taste, if desired.
PASTA AND LENTILS (PASTA E LENTICCHIE)
This classic Neapolitan dish's heartiness comes from cooking pasta with lentils so that the starches thicken the liquid into something creamier and richer than a basic lentil soup. There are many versions of this peasant food, including ones with pancetta, carrots, parsley or Parmesan rinds; some also use a hodgepodge of pasta shapes from half-empty boxes - it's a true pantry meal. Brown lentils will fall apart more quickly than green, but they'll create a luscious sauce either way. Stir the pasta often, especially towards the end of cooking, and add more water if the pot is dry (the sauce will thicken as it cools). Leftovers will keep for up to 3 days refrigerated; warm over low heat and add water to loosen.

Steps:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add 5 cups of water, the lentils, the thyme and bay leaves (if using). Partially cover, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until the lentils are al dente, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and 1 teaspoon salt, and bring to a boil over high. Add the pasta and cook, stirring often to keep the pasta from sticking to the pot, until the pasta is al dente, 10 to 20 minutes. (It may take longer than the cook time on the package.) If the pot starts to look dry at any point, add more water, 1/4 cup at a time.
- Turn off the heat, discard the thyme and bay leaves, then stir in the Parmesan. Cover and let sit for 3 minutes so the flavors meld and the sauce thickens. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Eat with more Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil.

- To cook the lentils, first pick through the lentils for debris (I once bit into a tiny rock) and then rinse them in a fine-mesh colander. In a small saucepan, combine the lentils, bay leaf, garlic, salt and broth.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Simmer until the lentils are cooked through and tender, which will take somewhere between 20 to 35 minutes, depending on the age and variety of the lentils. Drain the lentils, discard the bay leaf and garlic, and set the pot aside, uncovered.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, according to the package directions. Drain, then return the pasta to the pot and set it aside.
- Stir the marinara into the lentils and warm them together over medium heat. Divide pasta into bowls, top with warm marinara and lentils, and garnish with Parmesan and/or chopped fresh basil, if you’d like. Serve warm. Leftovers will keep well, covered and refrigerated, for up to 4 days.
