Pasta with Lentils “Pasta Lenticchie”

Preparation

Peel the onions and garlic and finely dice. Cut the celery into three pieces, cut lengthwise into strips, then cut into thin cubes. Chop the tomato roughly. Cut the pepper into rings to taste. Heat 6 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan, fry the celery and onions until they are glassy. Add the hot peppers and tomato with TOMAMI No.1 🛒 and fry for 3 minutes. Stir in the lentils, fill with water and bring to the boil. Cover the lentils and simmer gently for 1 hour.

In the meantime fry the sage leaves (in small batches – careful the oil might spatter) in a pan in 6 tablespoons of hot olive oil. Remove and drain on kitchen paper. Add the crumbs to the oil and stir-fry – add a little salt. Divide the ricotta into rough portions.

Cook the noodles in salted water according to the instructions on the package, drain and allow to drip and mix with the butter and Parmesan cheese while still hot. Serve on warmed plates with the lentils. Serve with ricotta, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and sage.
