Lenticchie Verdi Lentils
These little disk-shaped legumes need no presoaking and are
ready in 20 to 30 minutes--not too much longer than it takes to cook
pasta. In fact, when you consider the nutritional superiority of
lentils, you might want to serve them instead of pasta: Compared
with spaghetti, lentils supply much more folate (folic acid), which
fights heart disease. They have considerably more fiber (about 25%
of which is the soluble kind, which lowers cholesterol); and more
protein. Lentils make a fine side dish and an excellent basis for
salads and hearty soups.
