Autumny Green Lentil Linguini

This is a great recipe for those lentil lovers out there, and also for anyone looking to add these wonderful little legumes to their diet.

1/2 cup green lentils 
1/2 chopped onion
2 cups of chicken stock
Handful of linguini
1-2 cups of frozen corn
Cayenne, salt, red pepper flakes, pepper

For the sauce:
In a saucepan, cook the onions in olive oil until they begin to smell.  Add the lentils to the saucepan and mix well.  I used cayenne, salt and pepper to give the sauce a bit of a spicy taste.  Then, add the 2 cups of chicken stock to the pot and cook at medium heat until the lentils are well cooked.  Puree the lentils.

Pasta:
Pretty simple, boil a pot of water, adding linguini and corn.  Wait until throughly cooked, then drain, and mix with the lentil puree.
