Summer Lentils With Zucchini And Tomato Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups water
1 cup French green lentils du Puy
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 zucchini, cubed
1/2 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons freshly chopped lovage
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 cups spicy tomato sauce (such as Barilla(R) Arrabbiata)

Preparation

Bring water and lentils to a boil in a large saucepan. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Saute zucchini, onion, and garlic until just browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Toss in lovage and thyme and cook until slightly wilted, about 10 seconds. Add the cooked lentils and tomato sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes.
