Preparation 30 minutes preparation + 30 minutes cooking

Soak lentils for several hours, then clean and rinse.

Chop celery and onion.

Heat half of the oil in a pan (earthenware if possible) over medium heat.

Add onion, celery and peeled garlic clove. Cook for 5 minutes, then stir in tomatoes.

Add lentils and cover with cold water (enough to cover lentils by about 1 inch).

Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat, covered with a lid, for about 20 minutes. Season with salt.

Add pasta and cook according to package directions. The consistency should resemble a thick soup.

Remove from heat and drizzle with the rest of the oil and grated Gran Cru Pecorino, combining well.

Serve hot with a generous sprinkle of black pepper.

Ditalini rigati may be substituted for cut spaghetti.
