Step-by-step recipe

check off as you go

  1. Éplucher et couper

    Épluche les carottes et coupe-les en petits dés. Épluche l’oignon et hache-le finement. Écrase l’ail sous le plat d’un couteau.

  2. Faire revenir légumes

    Dans la poêle antiadhésive, fais chauffer l’huile d’olive à feu moyen. Ajoute l’oignon et l’ail, fais revenir 2 min sans coloration. Ajoute les carottes et le curry, mélange bien.

  3. Cuire lentilles corail

    Ajoute les lentilles corail dans la casserole avec 30 cl d’eau froide. Porte à ébullition, puis baisse le feu et laisse mijoter 10 min à couvert.

    Tip · Si l’eau s’évapore trop vite, ajoute un peu d’eau chaude pour prolonger la cuisson sans brûler les lentilles.

  4. Cuire pâtes

    Dans la même casserole que les lentilles, ajoute les coquillettes et 50 cl d’eau. Porte à ébullition, puis laisse cuire 8 min à feu vif en remuant de temps en temps.

    Tip · Goûte les pâtes 1 min avant la fin pour ajuster le temps de cuisson si nécessaire.

  5. Égoutter et mélanger

    Égoutte les pâtes et les lentilles dans la passoire. Verse le tout dans la poêle avec les légumes. Ajoute une pincée de sel et de poivre, mélange bien.
