How to Make Lentils With Pasta And Caramelised Onions

  1. Caramelize the onions: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 2 large onions, thinly sliced, and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until deeply golden brown and caramelized.
  2. Prepare the lentils: Rinse 1 cup of brown or green lentils under cold water. Add the lentils to the pot with 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but not mushy.
  3. Add the pasta: Break 8 ounces of tagliatelle pasta into smaller pieces (about 1-inch long). Add the broken pasta to the pot with the lentils. Ensure there is enough water to cover both the lentils and pasta.
  4. Cook the pasta: Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot. Increase heat to medium-high and boil vigorously for 6-7 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked al dente. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Finish the dish: Drain any excess water. Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the caramelized onions, and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve: Enjoy your delicious Rishta Bi hot or at room temperature. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.
