Fettuccine With Lentil Sauce

4 servings
1 pound dried or fresh fettuccine
2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, pressed or finely chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
1-1/4 cups red lentils, washed and drained
3 Tablespoons tomato paste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2-1/2 cups boiling water
4 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
additional water, if needed

Boil the fettuccine in a large, heavy saucepan according to package directions, then drain, rinse, set aside. In the same saucepan, heat the olive oil, then saut� the garlic and onion for about five minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the lentils, tomato paste, and salt and pepper, then stir in the boiling water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 20 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft, adding a bit of water if the sauce looks too dry. Reheat the fettuccine if necessary, and serve topped with the lentil sauce. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top of the dish.
