Preparation steps

1.

Rinse and trim the bell pepper and cut into bite-size strips. Peel and very finely chop the onion and the garlic cloves. Rinse and trim the celery and cut into thin slices.

Sauté the onion, garlic and celery in some oil, add the lentils and pour in the broth. Simmer for about 10 minutes, add the bell pepper and then simmer for another 5 minutes.

2.

Cut the dried tomatoes into thin strips. Rinse the peperoncini, remove the seeds, chop and mix into the simmered vegetables along with the dried tomatoes.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and allow to drain briefly.

Season the vegetables with salt and pepper and add the pasta to the pan.

Shower with the parsley and serve with Parmesan to taste.

Simplicity itself, and really tasty, an excellent way to use up the pepper crop from our vegetable garden. 100g of pasta per person is rather a lot, a standard portion would be 75g. otherwise can't be faulted
