Tasty sauce. Nice flavor from the garlic and thyme. Didn't add much salt as my stock was already pretty salty. The quality of stock definately will make a difference. Only change I would make is next time I would toss the pasta in melted butter or a mixture of butter and olive oil (just a personal preference, for me the olive oil flavor was a little over done).

What a flavourful combination. I have used dried red lentils for this dish. Because they need only 10-15 minutes to cook, they worked perfect. Use the best stock you can get, because it is the basis of the sauce. I really don't have used salt, but a lot of pepper, olive oil and thyme, because I like it that way. Perfect.

This was marvelous. I was a bit concerned that there weren't enough seasonings in this pasta dish but I needn't have been. Be liberal with the salt, freshly cracked pepper and olive oil, and I promise, you'll love it. This recipe deserves your most flavorful, homemade stock and definitely use penne to catch all those delicious vegetables.

This is indeed a great recipe,one that we will enjoy many times over. Great flavor and presentation. I did use colored pasta as that is what I had. Other than that I made no changes. Thanks Stardustanni for a great recipe.

Wow!! First time having lentil without tomato sauce on pasta and we loved it!! Great great dish!! Used canned lentils but would use dried next time. Used very good quality chicken stock. Didn't have any celery, so used red bell pepper. Thanks so much stardustannie!
