Recipe Description:
This easy to prepare vegetarian one-pot pasta dish gets a nutritional upgrade. Swap out refined grain pasta for a lentil pasta with the added benefit of plant-based protein. Chopped kale or other dark leafy greens are an easy way to add in extra vegetables and carrots add natural sweetness. An added benefit for those following a Gluten-free diet, many of the bean based pastas are also gluten-free.
