Ingredients:

10 oz brown lentils, rinsed well
½ cup crushed tomatoes or sauce
2-3 cloves garlic, peeled but not chopped
3 stalks celery, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1½ tbsp olive oil
1½ cups short-cut pasta
Salt and pepper to taste

*Grated parmesan cheese for garnish enjoyed by Eat Color with Claudia

Recipe:

Fill a large pot 2/3 of the way with water (around 12-16 cups of water – less water for a thicker consistency)

Add the lentils, crushed tomatoes, garlic, parsley, celery and olive oil. Bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer and cook the soup for about 1 hour to 1 hour and a half or until the lentils are soft and tender (enough water should have evaporated at this point that the soup is looking a bit thick).

Add the pasta along with salt and pepper and cook until the pasta is cooked al dente.

Cover the pot with a lid and let the soup sit off the heat for 10 minutes.

Serve right away!
