Steps:

• In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add 5 cups of water, the lentils, the thyme and bay leaves (if using). Partially cover, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until the lentils are al dente, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and 1 teaspoon salt, and bring to a boil over high. Add the pasta and cook, stirring often to keep the pasta from sticking to the pot, until the pasta is al dente, 10 to 20 minutes. (It may take longer than the cook time on the package.) If the pot starts to look dry at any point, add more water, 1/4 cup at a time.
• Turn off the heat, discard the thyme and bay leaves, then stir in the Parmesan. Cover and let sit for 3 minutes so the flavors meld and the sauce thickens. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Eat with more Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:

• In a saute pan,heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter and saute the minced onion until lightly browned.
• Add tomatoes and basil.
• Season with salt (remembering that the cheese is salty) and black pepper.
• Simmer gently,uncovered for 45 minutes.
• Cook the macaroni,according to package directions,drain out the cooking water and rinse the cooked macaroni in cool water.
• In the pot that you cooked the macaroni,combine rinsed macaroni with 4 tablespoons butter,the cooked tomato sauce and 1 cup of the cheese.
• Heat well and serve it with remaining cup of cheese in a bowl and make sure that you have a peppermill at the table.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 9 by 13 by 2 inch baking pan.
• In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the soppressata and transfer to the baking pan.
• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 3/4 cup of the cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour over pasta. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
• Bake the pie for 20-25 minutes or until eggs are set. If you want it slightly golden on top, broil until desired color is reached. (If you don't have soppressata, or don't want to use it, you can substitute with pepperoni.).
