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.

1 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.
2 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).
3 Combine the cooked pasta with the superfood sauce mixture. Top with parmesan cheese and serve.
