into a medium sized pot and allow to simmer for 35 minutes or until lentils become soft and split.
Remove heat and add your pre-cooked pasta and 2 tablespoons of grated cheese and stir until well blended.
Soup should be slightly thick but not like a bean or pea soup. If you need more water to thin out, just add it.

Ham can be deleted to make it vegetarian friendly
A nice piece of multi grain Italian bread sprinkled with a bit of olive oil instead of butter would make a great additive to round out this as a meal.Dont forget to add the calories for this addition.

This was a big hit at my house tonight! Thanks so much for posting this recipe. I used turkey ham and sauted that with the onion & garlic before adding all the ingredients. And in place of some of the water I used spaghetti sauce I needed to use up. Very delicious. 10 thumbs up from our family! - 10/2/07
