Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery,
carrot, and bay leaves and saut until light golden, about 7 minutes.

reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until lentils are tender and
nearly all liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Discard bay leaves.

be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before continuing.)
Melt butter in large pot over medium-high heat. Add spinach and cook
until just wilted, stirring frequently.

crumbled goat cheese and serve.

markets.
