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.

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.

Wow, very good and very easy too! I didn't think it would taste good since it didn't seem like there were enough spices, but it came out great! I just added a can of tomato sauce with the tomatoes, but other than that it was left the same. Thanks a lot!

I loved this dish. The only thing I did differently (at the advice of other reviewers) is add an 8 oz can of tomato sauce to the tomato mixture. Next time I think I would prefer to use 1/2 cup rice and 1/2 cup of lentils in place of the cup of pasta. I will be making this on a regular basis!

This was a fantastic dish - and it even freezes well! Yummy and filling. Two changes I made were reducing the cooking time for the lentils and adding some extra tomato sauce (I used 365 brand Roast Vegetable sauce).

I was a bit apprehensive about this since we haven't had lentils before, but I gave it a try and I'm glad I did. I used a jar of pureed tomato instead of chopped, and I mixed the sauce in with the rice/lentils/pasta before serving. My family all loved it, my 5 year old asked for more. Will definitely be making it again!

Very good and very filling. I used a fresh chili pepper instead of the pepper flakes and fried them with the onions and garlic.

This was good - although I had to add a little salt. My 3 year old LOVES it and keeps requesting 'shari Tom added chicken to it and it was really good! A keeper!
