Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup dried lentils
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped red onion
4 italian sweet sausages (about 13 oz), casings removed, crumbled
3/4 cup dry red wine
12 oz small pasta (such as conchiglie or pennette)
3/4 cup (packed) grated pecorino romano cheese (about 2 oz)
3 tbsp finely chopped fresh italian parsley
additional extra-virgin olive oil
additional grated pecorino romano cheese

Directions:

Cook lentils in small saucepan of boiling water until tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Drain well; set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sausage; sauté until sausage is light brown, about 8 minutes. Add wine and cook until almost all liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes. Stir in cooked lentils and cook until mixture is heated through, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain well, reserving 1cup pasta cooking water. Return cooked pasta to pot. Add sausage-lentil mixture, 3/4 cup cheese, and parsley and toss to coat. Add enough reserved pasta cooking water to moisten. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve, passing additional olive oil and grated cheese.
