Red lentil pasta has been a game-changer when it comes to quick weeknight meals. Lentil pasta cooks like traditional pasta but brings more fiber and protein, allowing me to keep the sauce simple. I use penne, marinara sauce, and fresh vegetables for a 30-minute meal that no picky eater can resist.

Cook the pasta according to package directions.
In a medium sized pot, saute the peppers, onion, zucchini, spinach, garlic and spices (italian seasoning, salt, crushed red pepper) for about 5-10 minutes until soft.
Combine the cooked veggie mixture with 1 jar of Marinara Sauce in a blender. Blend until smooth. (Alternatively you can add the red sauce to the pot, and use an immersion blender to blend it together).
Combine the cooked pasta with the superfood sauce mixture. Top with parmesan cheese and serve.
