Lentils With Pasta and Caramelised Onions image

I came across this recipe on waitrose.com.It is a Lebanese dish called rishta bi.The pasta is usually cooked in the same water as the lentils, giving an earthy colour and flavour. I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but it does sound absolutely delicious and healthy too....
