Pasta with Lentils and Arugula pg.318
2 Toasts
Dish tasted bland except for the peppyness of the arugula - maybe I used too much. I couldn't find the measuring cups (maybe Spatula is hiding them until I do the laundry)so I just estimated measurements like all the great cooks do. I was really excited to use the Duram Wheat Semolina pasta. The texture and shape were a great change from the usual. Maybe we'll try the dish again with a variation of fusilli and parsley leaves.
Points For:
Using canned lentils - cuts down on prep time
Finding specialty pasta - Orecchiette
Points Against:
Using canned lentils - cuts down on taste
Adding 1/4 cup water before finishing browning onions - pasty!
Not triple rinsing arugula - grainy
Spatula will weigh in on his rating - he missed dinner

This dish looks very appetizing, even though I don't like lentils! Too bad it only got two toasts for taste... I wonder how many toasts it gets after it's been in the microwave for people who MISS DINNER! Glad to see a new dish... your fans have been waiting! This blog is so much fun! Great photography!
