It is commonly said that covetousness is one of the reigning sins of old age. How strange that it should be so! Especially considering what they have seen, and known, and it may be, felt of the emptiness and uncertainty of riches. They have witnessed how often they make themselves wings. What! And not yet convinced! What! Almost at the end of thy journey, and yet loading thyself with thick clay! Think of the time of day. It is almost night; even sun-set. And art thou unmindful of the grave? The body is bending downwards, let the heart be upwards.

INSTRUCTIONS

Makes 6 servings.
Small red beans and red lentils provide a hearty boost of flavor (and
protein) to your favorite pasta sauce.
Bring lentils, garlic and water to a boil in a small saucepan over
medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 8 to 10 minutes, uncovered, or
until lentils are firm-tender.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and stir. Return
to a boil, then reduce heat and cook 7 to 10 minutes, or until firm-tender.
Place beans, pasta sauce, basil and lentils with any remaining liquid in a
large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir, reduce heat,
cover and simmer 10 minutes.
Place pasta on a large serving plate, or individual plates, and top with
sauce. Garnish with minced fresh parsley.
Note If your supermarket does not have red lentils, regular brown lentils
can be substituted. Cook an additional 5 minutes, adding extra water, if
needed.
For emotional equilibrium, balance your diet with lentils. Lentils are rich
in B vitamins, so important to nerve function.
