Pasta with Green Lentils and Tomatoes

JK's Post

See JC's previous post for the recipe. Although starting with the same recipe, we got different results!

1. I used whole wheat spaghetti.

2. I haven't cooked many lentils, so I thought the
suggested cooking time was correct. But, I think they should have been cooked longer. Since I bought a 1 lb (16 oz) bag, I have plenty to practice on!

3. Instead of butter, I used Earth Balance (vegan) Buttery stick.

4. I used chopped fresh Roma tomatoes.













Here's the finished dish. It was tasty. We (2 of us) had plenty of leftovers. To those I added more fresh tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil.

I'd try this recipe again and cook the lentils longer. I'd also do as JC suggested and use canned tomatoes (flavored with olive oil and garlic or basil.) I think fresh basil would be great, too.
