For many people with roots in the culture of the Southern US states, black eyed peas symbolize good luck and are typically eaten on New Year’s Day along with greens; collard greens, turnip greens or mustard greens to symbolize prosperity in the new year.
My nana would have loved this recipe. She or my mom never made lentils pasta to my knowledge. My grandparents are from Paola... I'm going to make her and my mom (rest in peace) proud by making this recipe. Thank you...looks divine!
I just tried the recipe and have to say it's just awesome. I put in 200 grams lentils and about 220 grams of pasta and it turned out perfectly. I also don't like celery but left it in and am happy I did. There was nothing left of the celery after cooking but it adds so much depth to the taste, I would really leave it in. Great recipe, many thank Vincenzo for another fantastic and really unusual dish.
I'm thrilled to hear that you tried the recipe and loved it! 😄🍝 Your adjustments and keeping the celery for added depth are fantastic. Thank you for your kind words, and I'm delighted you enjoyed this unusual yet delicious dish. Buon appetito! 🇮🇹👨🍳😊
Thank you so much Vincenzo! I made this today as lent has begun. I left out the gaunciale, but it tasted perfect. The rosemary does so much for the taste, along with the soffritto and the al dente lentils. It was filling and I've now got several portions over for the coming weekend. Much love from a cold Sweden.
Ciao Vincenzo! I have responded to your call to make this pasta. Even though my late parents were Italian, we never had this pasta. I totally agree - absolutely delicious! Next time I shall make it with guanciale and I’m sure it will be an explosion of flavours and even more delicious than the plate I’ve just eaten😋! Delizioso - thank you so much for bringing this hearty dish to our attention ❤
Ciao amico! 🇮🇹 I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the pasta dish. Using guanciale will indeed add a burst of flavors! 😋 Delizioso is the goal, and I'm glad I could share this with you. Buon appetito! 🍝👨🍳😊
Vegans and vegetarians like the extra flavour that you talk about on the video when you mention the panceta and what we do is use, for example, liquid smoke or smoked paprika. Lots of flavour!! :)
Pasta e Lenticchie, Pasta e Fagioli, Pasta e Patate and Pasta e Ceci, all delicious! Usually most recipes for all 4 dishes are the same, except for the lentils/beans/potatoes/chickpeas, but even then they’re all very nice. And there are some variations like vegetarian or pancetta/guanciale/lardo/proscuito. Or even using anchovies. Some use fresh tomatoes instead of canned/bottles and other cheeses like smoked provola.
@@breezeb8720 Personally, not a good idea! Barley is a Grain whereas Lentils is a Legume, and if you're more or less after carbs and proteins, then Lentils being a 'Super Food' is much higher in protein, and very high in B-vitamins and much more and high in minerals than Barley but, also less in sugar than Barley! Although, both are good...BUT you will not get that very special 'nutty' flavour that Lentils has compared to Barley, not even close! So it then falls in the taste category and as a Chef, I 'd very specifically choose superiorly over legume based Lentils than over blander-tasting grain based Barley and besides, Barley is more 'carb-y' ... but mainly, the taste and texture of 'creamy' Lentils supersedes any 'gummy' grain! It's like someone thinking that chalky Chick Peas is as good as smooth Northern White Beans! Not even close!
You're very welcome, my dear friend! 😊🍝 I'm thrilled that you found it delicious. If you have any more comments or questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Buon appetito! 🇮🇹👨🍳👍😊
I can smell it from here! My lentil soup is very similar. Obviously more stock, no guanciale, and I use fire roasted tomatoes instead of passata. I also cook the ditalini separately to add during plating so they don't turn to mush.
Thanks for posting these vegetarian recipes! I'm a devout a carnivore but I am trying to find meatless dishes that actually satisfy me. It has not been easy.
Here in the south of Germany we have 'Linsen mit Spätzle'. As little kid I stood beside of Oma♡ when she was scraping the Spätzle from a board into the pot. It is my dish when the kids, the family comes together from around the world (: And here on the table there is a bottle of vinegar! Fits so perfect!
We have very similar dish in Slovakia, too. But we can add some pork meat with that. Great combination. No wonder, our cuisines are mutually highly influenced.
OMG, my granny was from the part of Hungary with lots of Germans and she made a thick lentil soup served over spaetzles and we sprinkled vinegar on it! I haven’t thought of it for ages but it was so good I will make it again ❤️
Thanks for this Vincenzo. As a vegetarian many of my regular meals are pasta e ceci and pasta e fagioli so this is a welcome variation. I was in Rome a few weeks ago and got obsessed with finding restaurants that served these soups. I found quite a few - mostly in the Jewish quarter but also a couple in Monti and Trastevere. I hard to search pretty hard though. I think they thought it was strange that a tourist wanted this kind of food!
In Syria we have a fresh pasta lentil dish ,we boil the lentils in Tamarind water than add the fresh pasta we fry onions until golden and in another skillet suate crushed garlic with green chopped cilantro then in a plat reassemble the lentils pasta and the fried onions on top also the garlic cilantro and pomegranate seeds
Yesterday I made my favorite winter soup... lentil soup! And, it is exactly what you made with only a couple differences. I don't use guanciale, I use bacon, and I don't add pasta or cheese. Mine is delicious as it is, but now I have a variation to try! Thank you, Vincenzo!
Grazie mille! ❤️ Sharing authentic Italian recipes and love for food is what I'm all about. Enjoy cooking and spreading the love in your kitchen! 🇮🇹👨🍳😊

I've made this several times in the past few years. I've also added TVP, textured vegetable protein when I add the pasta, sometimes instead of the pasta.
Italians love lentils! Most people don’t think of lentils in Italian cooking, but lentils have been part of Italian tradition since before the Roman Empire! Che bella cosa! ❤ Grazie, Enzo! ❤
A recipe that looks delicious. I never thought of mixing pasta and lentils. I’m proud you’re proud! Recette qui a l'air délicieuse. Je n'aurai jamais pensé à mélanger des pates et des lentille. Je suis fier que tu sois fier !
Vincenzo, I look forward to and love all of your videos and recipes. I make this dish several times during the fall and winter months with some deviations. Instead of using passata, I use petit diced tomatoes. I also use chicken stock in lieu of the vegetable stock. I use the Ditalini pasta, but have never seen them with ridges before. I will be on the lookout for them in Georgia. Wish me luck.
Just the way my Italian father taught me, but he put diced tomatoes or a bit of paste, sometimes bacon crumbles on top. So nice to see it being made, thank you Vincenzo
@@vincenzosplate this is amazing vincenzo my aunt debra is from liverpool uk and she loves letils how can i make this recipe vegan so that she can enjoy it without the meat
I like beans but never tried lentils. I believe this recipe is a great way to strike out on the lentil journey of discovery with others great lentil recipes. I get a kick ever time you say, " they have to make la little love in the pot or pan together" This recipe has so much character it not a soup or a stew it truly a pasta dish and a luxurious sensual flavor explosion in your mouth and the addition of the italian pork quanchella with the smoky and oily texture from the fat made this go over the top with flavor compounds and umami taste. This was a great recipe.
What can I say my friend? You have done it again. Another very wonderful recipe. So delicious! I want this right now!!! Vincenzo, keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see what is next!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear you're planning to try the lentils pasta recipe. I hope it brings a burst of delicious flavors to your table.

Who said lentils can't be delicious and comforting? Welcome to the flavor-packed side of lentils - hearty, wholesome, and oh-so-delicious. 🚀👨🍳 Dive in and enjoy the lentil adventure!
MMM, MMM, MMMMMMMM... I didn't know you can mix lentils and pasta. And, the money is the icing on the cake! Will make this soooooooon. Much love and happiness to u and family.
Thank you for your kind words and enthusiasm! 😄 Mixing lentils and pasta is a delightful combination, and I'm glad you're excited to try it. Wishing you and your family much love and happiness as well. Buon appetito! 🍝❤️😊
One of my great Italian friends makes orecchiette e lenticchie every christmas, very similar to this. It is made in two pots, and the lentil "ragú" has more tomato, she says the recipe has been in her family for centuries. I can't wait to give your recipe a go!
That sounds like a wonderful Christmas tradition! 🎄🇮🇹 It's fascinating how similar recipes can vary from family to family. I hope you enjoy trying my version of the dish as well. Buon Natale! 🍽️👨🍳😊
This is so good, I can’t wait for Christmas and New Year’s Eve so I can make this and Pasta Fagioli, another great video chef, these bring me back 50 years when my family was alive and we were always together, it’s hard sometimes to not have them here anymore. cento anni, amico mio
I'm touched that my recipes bring back precious memories! ❤️ Cooking connects us to our past. 🕰️ Keep the traditions alive. 🇮🇹👨🍳 Cento anni to you too, amico mio! 🥂😊
@@vincenzosplate In our homes, the kitchen is the most important place, there could be 26 other rooms in a house, but everyone is always in the kitchen, other people can’t understand that here in the states, at Holliday season, the day began 2 weeks before, I remember my mom cooking everything, and my dad was entertaining people as they came to the house in droves, all day into the night.we would have 18-20 people at the table, and 2 other tables for the kids, everyone got wine, even the kids, but they got wine and orange soda, it was called a wine cooler, then they would make salsiccia when the sun went down, and the lentils came out with fresh bread, no body cared about the salsiccia, they wanted that juice in the pan from the salsiccia with that fresh bread. Things were so simple in those days, we all came together just because we were family, I really miss those days, thought I would share some of those memories, I think these are the things that we get to take with us, I’m usually alone at the holidays now, it’s ok though, I have these memories. 🙏🏽
Nice! I make it with both pancetta and Italian sausage, and my guests always prefer the sausage version (we're Americans, what do we know?) 😉. When making this for a large crowd, I boil the pasta and keep it separate tossed with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil so the pasta doesn't get gummy sitting in the dish. My guests can add the pasta if they want or not if they're carb counting. Prepared that way, it can sit out for hours and guests always get a fresh bowl without gummy pasta. Keep up the good work!
The dish looks great! I'm definitely going to make it soon. Also just a thought: if people are sensitive to lentils and produce a lot of gas eating legumes, it's a good idea to soak the lentils the night before and make sure to through the water out. Or use the canned ones.
I love this dish, they are similar to other soups, stews in Italian cuisine, I love it…. We Lebanese use lentils in quite a bit of dishes , I love them
@@vincenzosplate the mujudra- burnt onion, lentil and rice pilaf and the lentil and spinach soup, ahdass b homid…. Have you heard of those or has them?
@@vincenzosplate Hello Vincenzo! I cooked LENTILS PASTA for dinner today. I only used Tripoline paste, dried rosemary and Grand Moravia cheese. Still, the result was fantastic! I have been cooking according to your recipes for more than a year, you are an excellent cook and teacher! 👍👍
I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed it! 😃🍝 It's all about those delicious flavors. You're very welcome! If you ever have more questions or want to try another recipe, feel free to ask. Buon appetito! 🇮🇹👨🍳😊
Hey there Vincenzo that looks an amazing dish that I will be making for sure . Thank you for another incredible recipe. I guess the only thing to be careful about is adding the water .
You're absolutely right! 😊👍 Adding water gradually and as needed is crucial to achieve the perfect consistency for the dish. I'm sure you'll make it beautifully! Enjoy cooking and savoring the flavors. 🍝👨🍳😋
That's fantastic! 😄🇮🇹 Italian dishes are filled with tradition and flavor. And I'm thrilled you enjoy the Vivaldi music. 🎶❤️ Thanks for sharing your connection with the recipe!
That's wonderful to hear! 😄 Enjoy making and savoring this delicious lentil and pasta dish over the weekend. If you have any questions while cooking, feel free to reach out. Buon appetito! 🍝👨🍳😊
Hi Vincenzo, your videos are excellent! How much lentils and pasta did you use for this dish? I'm assuming about 350 grams of pasta and a cup of lentils?
Well, I have some digestion troubles with lentils in general but I really want to try it ! I have three weeks for Christmas, I will try to make it. Just finding the same pastas might be difficult but well, they need to be small with a hole and if possible strains on them. Thank you for this recipe Vincenzo's !
You're very welcome! I'm sorry to hear about the digestion troubles with lentils, but I appreciate your enthusiasm to give the recipe a try. Finding the right pasta might be a bit of a quest, but small ones with a hole and some texture should work well. Feel free to adapt as needed, and I hope the dish turns out delicious and gentle on your digestion.
Wow. That's the first time I've ever seen you add the onions with the other vegetables at the same time. You ALWAYS add the onions first to make sure they cook more and add the sweetness. :)
Great catch! You've got a keen eye for my cooking habits. Mixing up the order of adding ingredients can indeed impact flavors, and I appreciate your observation.
I like all kinds of lentils. This is a nice recipe that I will give it a try. The branches are more for Santa's reindeer. I'm going to use dried thyme and some oregano instead.👍
Did you know in Italy we eat lentils at new years eve because we think lentils will bring us good luck and money in the new year😂
That's interesting, in the Czech Republic we have the same custom! 😃
Not only a successful year but also a strong body. Lentils are my favorite
In my culture we have lentils every single day..... you don't see me getting success :')
For many people with roots in the culture of the Southern US states, black eyed peas symbolize good luck and are typically eaten on New Year’s Day along with greens; collard greens, turnip greens or mustard greens to symbolize prosperity in the new year.
My grandmother also made it on Christmas Eve with anchovies, instead of guancarle, as a side dish to the 12 fishes!
I was 8 years old when my ma taught me to cook that dish. I'm 61 now, and it's still my favourite. Thank you for the memories 😊
It's beautiful how certain recipes bring back memories! You're welcome my friend 😊🇮🇹

Thanks for posting these vegetarian recipes! I'm a devout a carnivore but I am trying to find meatless dishes that actually satisfy me. It has not been easy.
Here in the south of Germany we have 'Linsen mit Spätzle'. As little kid I stood beside of Oma♡ when she was scraping the Spätzle from a board into the pot.
It is my dish when the kids, the family comes together from around the world (:
And here on the table there is a bottle of vinegar! Fits so perfect!
S'Gröschde. Lensa, Spätzla ond Soidawirschdla. Hier ist international und man trifft Schwaben. Heidanei. 😃
We have very similar dish in Slovakia, too. But we can add some pork meat with that. Great combination. No wonder, our cuisines are mutually highly influenced.
and in Finland the same way but with short macaroni pasta type
It's beautiful how different cultures approach the same recipe! Thank you for sharing this information with me ❤️🇮🇹
OMG, my granny was from the part of Hungary with lots of Germans and she made a thick lentil soup served over spaetzles and we sprinkled vinegar on it! I haven’t thought of it for ages but it was so good I will make it again ❤️
Thanks for this Vincenzo. As a vegetarian many of my regular meals are pasta e ceci and pasta e fagioli so this is a welcome variation. I was in Rome a few weeks ago and got obsessed with finding restaurants that served these soups. I found quite a few - mostly in the Jewish quarter but also a couple in Monti and Trastevere.

Thank you for your kind words and enthusiasm! 😄 Mixing lentils and pasta is a delightful combination, and I'm glad you're excited to try it. Wishing you and your family much love and happiness as well. Buon appetito! 🍝❤️😊
One of my great Italian friends makes orecchiette e lenticchie every christmas, very similar to this. It is made in two pots, and the lentil "ragú" has more tomato, she says the recipe has been in her family for centuries. I can't wait to give your recipe a go!
That sounds like a wonderful Christmas tradition! 🎄🇮🇹 It's fascinating how similar recipes can vary from family to family. I hope you enjoy trying my version of the dish as well. Buon Natale! 🍽️👨🍳😊
We sometimes add diced sweet potato in lentil soup with no pasta. It’s really good like that too.
Amazing!
This is so good, I can’t wait for Christmas and New Year’s Eve so I can make this and Pasta Fagioli, another great video chef, these bring me back 50 years when my family was alive and we were always together, it’s hard sometimes to not have them here anymore. cento anni, amico mio
I'm touched that my recipes bring back precious memories! ❤️ Cooking connects us to our past. 🕰️ Keep the traditions alive. 🇮🇹👨🍳 Cento anni to you too, amico mio! 🥂😊
@@vincenzosplate In our homes, the kitchen is the most important place, there could be 26 other rooms in a house, but everyone is always in the kitchen, other people can’t understand that here in the states, at Holliday season, the day began 2 weeks before, I remember my mom cooking everything, and my dad was entertaining people as they came to the house in droves, all day into the night.we would have 18-20 people at the table, and 2 other tables for the kids, everyone got wine, even the kids, but they got wine and orange soda, it was called a wine cooler, then they would make salsiccia when the sun went down, and the lentils came out with fresh bread, no body cared about the salsiccia, they wanted that juice in the pan from the salsiccia with that fresh bread. Things were so simple in those days, we all came together just because we were family, I really miss those days, thought I would share some of those memories, I think these are the things that we get to take with us, I’m usually alone at the holidays now, it’s ok though, I have these memories. 🙏🏽
I've just tried it, and it's abolutely delicious !
Thankyou for another great clip! I have only just discovered you and I am thoroughly enjoying your clips! ❤
That looks amazing - great recipe!
Thank you so much! 😄 I'm glad you like the recipe. If you have any questions or need more cooking inspiration, feel free to ask. Buon appetito! 🍝👨🍳😊
Nice! I make it with both pancetta and Italian sausage, and my guests always prefer the sausage version (we're Americans, what do we know?) 😉. When making this for a large crowd, I boil the pasta and keep it separate tossed with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil so the pasta doesn't get gummy sitting in the dish. My guests can add the pasta if they want or not if they're carb counting. Prepared that way, it can sit out for hours and guests always get a fresh bowl without gummy pasta. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing your way of cooking this recipe! It sounds delicious! Keep up the great work in the kirchen! 😁🇮🇹
Vincenzo, thank you for this recipe and I really enjoyed the classical music in the background fantastic as always!
Thank you for the love and support my friend ❤️🇮🇹
Cant wait to make this soon for me i love pasta sooooooooo much i never had lentils pasta before perfect for my after office meals
Happy cooking! 🍝🇮🇹
The dish looks great! I'm definitely going to make it soon. Also just a thought: if people are sensitive to lentils and produce a lot of gas eating legumes, it's a good idea to soak the lentils the night before and make sure to through the water out. Or use the canned ones.
Chef Vincenzo, you're a man after my own heart (and stomach) with your pepper usage.👍
Great dish, we loved, I followed exactly each step asyou showed, our new favozrite lentil dish :)❤
Vincenzo. I would love it wit a fried egg on top. Delicious 😋
I love your happiness around food.
This dish is so beautiful❤️
I am passionate about delicious Italian food! 😊 Happy to hear that ypu found this recipe delicious!
I love this dish, they are similar to other soups, stews in Italian cuisine, I love it…. We Lebanese use lentils in quite a bit of dishes , I love them

@@vincenzosplate the mujudra- burnt onion, lentil and rice pilaf and the lentil and spinach soup, ahdass b homid…. Have you heard of those or has them?

@@vincenzosplate Hello Vincenzo! I cooked LENTILS PASTA for dinner today. I only used Tripoline paste, dried rosemary and Grand Moravia cheese. Still, the result was fantastic! I have been cooking according to your recipes for more than a year, you are an excellent cook and teacher! 👍👍
I grew up on this and just made exactly this recipe a few days ago. Glad to see Vincenzo corroborating my cooking process!
Haha happy to hear that you love this recipe! Do you have any soecial twists for your pasta alle lenticchie? 😊🍝🇮🇹
It's amazing!! I just cooked it and it has so many flavours in my mouth 🙂🙂 thank you
I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed it! 😃🍝 It's all about those delicious flavors. You're very welcome! If you ever have more questions or want to try another recipe, feel free to ask. Buon appetito! 🇮🇹👨🍳😊
Hey there Vincenzo that looks an amazing dish that I will be making for sure . Thank you for another incredible recipe. I guess the only thing to be careful about is adding the water .
You're absolutely right! 😊👍 Adding water gradually and as needed is crucial to achieve the perfect consistency for the dish. I'm sure you'll make it beautifully! Enjoy cooking and savoring the flavors. 🍝👨🍳😋
My mom is Italian and she made something very similar to this. It was one of my favorites!!! 😋 By the way, I love the Vivaldi music!!
That's fantastic! 😄🇮🇹 Italian dishes are filled with tradition and flavor. And I'm thrilled you enjoy the Vivaldi music. 🎶❤️ Thanks for sharing your connection with the recipe!
@@vincenzosplate Vincenzo, you’re the best!! 👏👏👍
Definitely trying this out my friend looks awesome
Love to hear that! I can’t wait for you to try this lentils pasta, and please don’t for get to let me know how it goes! 😍
Looks delicious. I’m going to make it this weekend!
That's wonderful to hear! 😄 Enjoy making and savoring this delicious lentil and pasta dish over the weekend. If you have any questions while cooking, feel free to reach out. Buon appetito! 🍝👨🍳😊
Hi Vincenzo, your videos are excellent! How much lentils and pasta did you use for this dish? I'm assuming about 350 grams of pasta and a cup of lentils?
WoW! Fantastic! I have to try this! Thank You!
You're welcome! I hope you like it as much as I did! 😊🇮🇹
I used live in Italy when I was younger and learned a-lot of cooking
Well, I have some digestion troubles with lentils in general but I really want to try it ! I have three weeks for Christmas, I will try to make it. Just finding the same pastas might be difficult but well, they need to be small with a hole and if possible strains on them. Thank you for this recipe Vincenzo's !
You're very welcome! I'm sorry to hear about the digestion troubles with lentils, but I appreciate your enthusiasm to give the recipe a try. Finding the right pasta might be a bit of a quest, but small ones with a hole and some texture should work well. Feel free to adapt as needed, and I hope the dish turns out delicious and gentle on your digestion.
Looks amazing. Pecorino Romano is the king of cheese. ❤️🌹
Oh yes! It’s my favourite cheese right after Burrata. I love them both.
Ooo that looks soo good
Yummy I ❤️ pasta with lentils….
Wow. That's the first time I've ever seen you add the onions with the other vegetables at the same time. You ALWAYS add the onions first to make sure they cook more and add the sweetness. :)
Great catch! You've got a keen eye for my cooking habits. Mixing up the order of adding ingredients can indeed impact flavors, and I appreciate your observation.
Thanks Vincenzo, I made this almost to your recipe above (bacon was the only difference), soooo delicious, I am definitely making this again.
We made this today. So much Pecorino Cheese! Was so goooooood!! Thank you for this recipe ❤
I like all kinds of lentils. This is a nice recipe that I will give it a try. The branches are more for Santa's reindeer. I'm going to use dried thyme and some oregano instead.👍
Great choice! Lentils are versatile, and using dried thyme and oregano will add wonderful flavor. Enjoy making and savoring this delicious dish! 🌿🍽️😊👍
