I saw it on "Anthony Bourdain" and I had it at Al Masri, and Egyptian restaurant in San Francisco. I'm always looking for new veggi dishes. I found it rather dry on my first go round so I doublrd up on the macaroni and a jar of ragu sauce the second time through. I note that it's served with hot saucce and a vinegar garlic sauce, so I dded s bit of white wine vinegar to irt and served it with Sriracha sauce for a prety good "Down home" flavor. That works!

We tried this last night and weren't thrilled with the results unfortunately. I used extra tomatoes and half a can of tomato paste to increase the amount of sauce as some others suggested but it still didn't seem to be quite enough. My husband gave it 2 stars, but I'd like to give it another try with more sauce and maybe some fresh spinach mixed in. It was easy to make (although it used quite a few dishes) and made a lot, which is good for our family. The kids also ate it well and it was very healthy. Thanks for the idea to build off

Very good, and easy. The amount of tomato sauce I ended up with was too little to go with all the lentils/rice/pasta. Next time I'll add a couple fresh tomatoes along with the suggested canned tomatoes.

This is one of my kids favorite meals, plus easy and economic to make! We always add allspice for warm flavor w/out too much heat. I cook up a big pot of lentils and rice w/carmelized onions and and a can of diced or crushed tomatoes @ the start of the week and use half for lentil soup and put the rest aside. Later in the week we have mac & cheese, smoked sausage, and baked beans w/corn. I make extra mac&cheese and immediately mix the leftovers w/the lentils and rice. Next day, all I have to do is add the allspice and heat it up. Usually we serve this w/taboulleh salad. So good and a total healthy hit.
