Method

4 steps

Heat the oil in a pan, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Cook covered over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and golden, about 20-25 minutes. Remove the bay leaf.
Meanwhile, boil the lentils in water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and keep covered until ready to use.
Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve a cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
Add the onion, lentils, and spinach to the pasta. Stir, adding a little of the reserved pasta water so the spinach wilts and the dish becomes moist. Add grated cheese, salt, and pepper to taste.
