Red Lentil Pasta Recipe
Serves 415 mins prep15 mins cook
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.
