Ingredients
Method
In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion, garlic, sage, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
Add tomatoes and hot pepper sauce, breaking up tomatoes with spoon; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until spoon scraped across bottom of pan leaves gap that fills in slowly, about 20 minutes. Add lentils; heat through, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until tender but firm, about 8 to 10 minutes. Reserving 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the cooking liquid, drain and return to pot. Add sauce, parsley and enough of the reserved liquid to moisten; toss to coat.
