How to Make Lentils Nicoise
- If using olive oil, heat it in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion; lower heat and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened and translucent. If omitting oil, sauté in 1/4 cup of water.
- Add the crushed tomatoes (or fresh chopped tomatoes) and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Stir in the rinsed lentils and halved Kalamata olives. Heat through for about 5 minutes.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat fettuccine according to package directions. Drain well.
- Add the cooked pasta to the lentil mixture and toss gently to combine.
- Serve immediately, topped with crumbled fat-free feta cheese. Enjoy!
