Ingredients

11 total
  • 150g green lentils
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
  • 2 tsp dried mint
  • 200g sliced kale
  • 950ml low-salt vegetable stock
  • 320g wholewheat spaghetti
  • 15g mint, leaves picked and finely chopped
  • ½ lemon, juiced, plus extra to taste
  • 200g light halloumi, grated

Method

4 steps

  1. Step 1

    Put the lentils in a saucepan with a pinch of salt and 450ml water; bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, then cover and simmer for 10 mins or until the lentils are soft with a little bite. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt; fry for 8-10 mins, stirring regularly, until soft. Add the garlic and dried mint; fry for 1-2 mins. Add the kale; cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Remove from the heat.

  3. Step 3

    In a large saucepan, bring the stock to the boil. Add the spaghetti; simmer for 9-11 mins, until the pasta is al dente with a small amount of stock left in the pan.

  4. Step 4

    Tip the lentils and kale mixture into the pasta. Add the chopped mint, lemon juice (to taste) and a grind of black pepper, then toss to combine. Add the grated halloumi, mixing until the cheese starts to soften and partially melt into the stock. Serve immediately.
