ITALIAN LENTIL SOUP
I wanted to make something substantial involving lentils... and this was truly delicious and colorful. My steak-and- potatoes-lovin' husband thought it was great, and he didn't even complain that it didn't have actual meat in it. Garnish with grated Romano or Parmesan cheese and serve with a nice crusty homemade bread.

Add pasta and cook for 3 minutes. Add zucchini and squash; cook until tender but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Add basil, oregano, and pepper.
- Remove soup from heat and let sit for 30 minutes, covered.
