Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Place lentils, carrots, and celery into the pot, reduce heat to low, and let simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving 2 cups of salted vegetable water. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, mix, and set aside.

  2. Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

  3. While pasta cooks, heat remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic in the hot oil until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in reserved salted vegetable water, mix, and add lentil mixture. Season sauce with kosher salt. Drain pasta.

  4. Divide pasta among plates, top with sauce, and serve.
