Great filling dinner! I subbed spinach for arugula, artichokes for mushrooms (what I had on hand) and it was very tasty! Thanks for the recipe! I love the additional nutritional value that lentils add to a dish so I'm always looking for recipes with them in it! - 11/2/10

My grocery didn't have arugula and I used mozzarella instead of the parmesan, but all the same, it was very good! Now if I could only convince my boyfriend of that... - 7/7/09
