Lentils and Tomato Sauce with Pasta Shells

In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion, garlic, sage, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.

Add tomatoes and hot pepper sauce, breaking up tomatoes with spoon; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until spoon scraped across bottom of pan leaves gap that fills in slowly, about 20 minutes. Add lentils; heat through, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until tender but firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserving ½ cup of the cooking liquid, drain and return to pot. Add sauce, parsley and enough of the reserved liquid to moisten; toss to coat. Serve sprinkled with Asiago cheese.
