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 😊🇮🇹
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!
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!! :)
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.
That's the way I've cooked lentils for many years. Thanks for featuring a more affordable recipe for us. I'd love to see more of these.❤
Happy to hear that you enjoyed this video! Stay tuned for more delicious plates 🤤🇮🇹
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 for providing the measurements that you tried! The recipe and video don’t have measurements and I wasn’t sure where to start.
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 ❤️🇮🇹
True. Just skip the garlic, the rosemary, and the pecorino and fry one thick string of German bacon instead of Pancetta. The fat and the bacon go into the sauce. Together with the lentils and some long German sausages you get a super rich dish.
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.
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! 🍝👨🍳😊
@@vincenzosplate I’ve just added pancetta and it really has lifted the flavour. This is definitely going to be made throughout winter 🫶
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.
Thank you for sharing your twist for this recipe! It sounds delicious! 😊🇮🇹
Sounds and looks so good!
Looks absolutely beautiful, can’t wait to try this!!
This looks absolutely delicious, thank you!
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
Your recipe sounds delicious
Sound really good must try!,,
I would love this recipe too
@cynthiabolanis255
Googled it, exactly what the person described, plus a sauce
Is this mujadarra? Sorry if I misspelled this! It's delicious, if this is the dish you are describing. I like to have it for breakfast.
This will be on the menu soon! Looks delicious
Amazing!
I will make this. Very good video!! ❤️👍
I love the way you make every sacred pasta be cremy without nasty cream! Just fantastic!
We watched. We cooked. We ate. Delicious! Thank you!
I made this and they are wonderful.
I made this today! Its sooo good and comforting!
I've just tried it, and it's abolutely delicious !
Just made this for dinner, and it was a hit with my wife, and me...….definitely a keeper thank you Vincenzo and "Buon Natale" to you, and your family.
Ooo that looks soo good
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!
Happy to have given you a delicious vegetarian pasta recipe! Enjoy my friend! 🍝🇮🇹
And they were right.
I just made this and can confirm it's really good. The taste reminds me of my Nonna's home cooking.
I just made this dish. I love lentils anyway, adding the pasta, the guanciale and the Pecorino Romano took it to another level.
This is so authentic! Thanks for spreading the love.
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! 🇮🇹👨🍳😊
just made this soup today after watching last night, and now enjoying this lentils soup while searching for another recipe..thanks
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! 🍝👨🍳😊
My stepfather from Sicily used to make this. A wonderful childhood memory.
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
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.
How about susbstituting barley? Would this work? Just an idea
@@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!
Pasta and 4 bean mix😋
The anchovies sound like a great idea
How do you like to cook your pasta alla lenticchie? Do you have any special twists for the recipe? 🇮🇹
Yes! Absolutely one of the best dishes in existence. So comforting and nostalgic for me.
I couldn't agree more! 🍝 It's the comfort and nostalgia that make these dishes truly special. Keep enjoying those wonderful flavors! 😊🇮🇹👨🍳
WoW! Fantastic! I have to try this! Thank You!
You're welcome! I hope you like it as much as I did! 😊🇮🇹
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 ❤️🇮🇹
Spectacular. Wow that looks absolutely beautiful.
Thank you so much! 😄👌 I'm glad you find it beautiful. It's not just about taste; presentation matters too! Enjoy trying out the recipe. 🍝👨🍳😊
Yum!! I hadn't seen this dish before. Thanks for sharing!!!
You're very welcome! 😄 I'm delighted to introduce you to new and delicious Italian dishes. If you have any more questions or want to try other recipes, feel free to ask. Buon appetito! 🇮🇹🍽️😊
Chef Vincenzo, you're a man after my own heart (and stomach) with your pepper usage.👍
Love this! Happiness in each spoonful 😋 I agree, love pepper in my lentils, minestrone and in my pastina.
You’re absolutely right, this dish brings happiness to our bellies 😍 as it is comfort food at its best!
@@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

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! ❤
That's true my friend, and we love to eat them on New Year's Eve! Take care 🇮🇹❤️🍝

Wow! I love these one pot meals! Thank You, Vincenzo.
These dishes (pasta and lentils, pasta and beans, pasta and peas, pasta and chickpeas, pasta and potatoes and so on) are a classic in our Italian cuisine, particularly in southern Italy. Perhaps they are those Italian dishes that are unfortunately less known abroad.
You're welcome my friend! Let me know how this recipe turns out for you! ❤🇮🇹
@@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! 👍👍
Interesting combo...
Have never been cooking pasta with lentils - it looks great, I am going to try this one...👍
That looks delicious! I am going to make this for New Year's Eve this year. 2024 is going to be a fabulous year!
I do love lentils. Delicious

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.
Amazing dish Vincenzo! I am from Greece and we never mix lentils with pasta but the recipe looks amazing! I am definitely going to try it
Thank you so much! 🇬🇷 Mixing lentils with pasta is a unique twist, and I'm excited that you're willing to give it a try. Enjoy the delicious flavors! 🍝😊
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? 😊🍝🇮🇹
Love the video love your content
Many thanks my friend! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏻
Mmmm, that looks delicious 🤤 I definitely need to try
Thank you my friend, I hope you like it as much as I do 🇮🇹🍝
That recipe looks magnificent, especially now that it's getting colder over here.
It's the perfect confort food for cold days! 😊🍝
Looks good. Will make it soon.👍🏽
Happy cooking! 🇮🇹❤️
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.
Thank you for sharing your twists to this recipe! They sound delicious🇮🇹😁
We make this on New Year’s Day. I never know might have a hangover. Thanks again, Vincenzo.
A hangover doesn't sound like the best way to start the day😅 but I bet all the delicious food makes it better 🇮🇹😂
Yummy I ❤️ pasta with lentils….
Awesome! Thanks! Love that it is vegetarian too!
Happy to hear that you liked this recipe! If you ever make it let me know how it turns out for you 😁🇮🇹

Vicenzo is the best !!! Boston Love
Thank you for the love from Boston! 🇺🇸❤️ I'm delighted to have your support. Keep enjoying the recipes! 😊👨🍳
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! 🍽️👨🍳😊
I used live in Italy when I was younger and learned a-lot of cooking
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! 🍝❤️😊
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! 🍝🇮🇹
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!
Thank you for sharing with me your way of making lentil soup, it sounds delicious 🇮🇹❤️
I made it just the way you did Vini. Lots of. Pecorino!!!! Lotsssss
Bellissimo! 🤩🧀 I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed it with lots of Pecorino! Keep cooking and savoring those flavors! 🇮🇹👨🍳😋
My grandma used to make this! Probably my favorite dish. She used Mostaccoli for the pasta and as well as pancetta she added spicy chorizo
Thank you for sharing your grandmother's twist to this recipe! ❤
Im going to make this tonight. Thank you 👍
In the same way, if you want, you can then also make pasta and beans, pasta and peas, pasta and chickpeas, pasta and potatoes. These are, especially by us in southern Italy, classic Italian dishes. Dishes that unfortunately are less known abroad. 😊
@@aris1956 they sound good too. Thanks
How did it turn out? 😁
Yeah really awesome! I've been using Pennette in some similar dishes. They don't have the rigids, but it works fantastic. Can't wait to try this one!
Happy to hear that I've made you curious about this recipe! Let me know how it turns out for you! 😊
Vincenzo I made this dish and it turned out amazing . I was very careful adding water and it took a little while but what an amazing dish
Taking the time to get the water just right is key, and I'm glad your patience paid off with a delicious dish.
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. 🙏🏽
