Stanley Tucci's Spaghetti with Lentils









Ingredient Checklist

  • ½ medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • ½ medium carrot, finely chopped
  • ½ medium celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 cup dried brown lentils, rinsed and picked over
  • ½ lb. uncooked spaghetti
  • 1 ½ cups salsa marinara
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste

Instructions 

  1. Step 1Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-low. Add chopped onion, carrot, celery, and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
  2. Step 2Place lentils in a separate medium saucepan. Fill with cold water to a level 1 inch above the lentils. Slowly bring to a simmer over medium; cook, stirring occasionally, until lentils are just tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.
  3. Step 3To break the spaghetti, lay out a clean dish towel, wrap spaghetti in it, and fold ends of towel over. Roll, squeeze, and/or bend bundle until you can feel that spaghetti has broken down into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces. Place bundle over a large bowl and unfurl, thus emptying it of all the bits of spaghetti.
  4. Step 4Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high. Add spaghetti; cook according to package direction for al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
  5. Step 5Meanwhile, drain lentils, and add to saucepan with vegetable mixture along with salsa marinara. Bring to a simmer over low. Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lentils have blended with salsa marinara, about 10 minutes. Add drained pasta, along with reserved cooking water; cook, stirring often, until flavors meld, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately.
