lentil pasta

This one pot lentil pasta is super simple to make and comes together in just about 20 quick minutes!

One Pot Lentil Pasta

veggies broth

tomatoes

thyme

oregano

basil

salt and pepper

In a large pot, combine all ingredients MINUS this basil. Stir to thoroughly combine.

Once boiling, reduce heat and let simmer for 13-15 minutes. Dish is done when the pasta is tender to the bite. Watch the pasta carefully because you don&#8217;t want to over cook it! Once done, take off of heat and let sit for a couple minutes to let the pasta absorb any remaining liquid.

Stir in the chopped herbs and season with salt and pepper if needed. ENJOY!

I love lentil pasta! It has actually become my favorite kind lately. And I totally agree - black bean is not my favorite either!
Mm this look so simple and delicious! Did you sprinkle nooch on top?

I have decided this week to try the Wheat Belly diet to try to be healthier  decrease my joint pain hives restless nights headaches lethargy etc AKA the Red headed Irish curse! I saw your recipe and ODDLY already had a box of this kind of  pasta unbeknownst to me! (god send?) Thank you :)  PS wish me luck on loosing my pooh bear belly too!

What are the nutrition facts on this? I’m trying to eat cleaner :) 

This was sooooo yummy! And soooo easy! I love one-pot meals, and this one is definitely a winner. I had bought a bag of TJ's Sedanini pasta, and wasn't quite sure what to do with it. Lucky me! The only tweak that I made to this recipe was to first saute the onion and garlic in olive oil, THEN add the veggie broth and tomatoes (I used Muir Glen organic fire roasted crushed tomatoes, the 28-oz size, which I think was the perfect amount of liquid for this recipe). I brought this all to a boil first before adding the spices and pasta. To finish it off I added some browned, crumbled bits of Field Roast vegan Italian sausage that I had lurking in the Fridge. Mangia!!!!!

Thank you for coming back to let me know, Andrea! it's been far too long since I have made this myself! So glad you liked it

Sooo good! Turned out perfect. My boyfriend loved it. I’ve made this pasta a couple times before, but the vegetable broth gives it way more flavor! The garlic gives it such a good flavor as well. Thank you for the delicious recipe. We topped it with garlic chicken and freshly grated Parmesan! Delicious !!!

That's a joy to read your post and eventually clarify myself.

Really yummy! Saved in my favorites. I added frozen peas :)  Way too much oregano though- next time I’ll use only 1/4 tsp instead of a whole tsp 

Fabulous. Will be putiing this on the table regularly - a complete success.

Delicious and easy recipe! I’ve made this twice now, the first time pretty much exactly like the recipe with the red lentil penne. The second time I used the Trader Joe’s yellow lentil and brown rice spaghetti and I also added some ground italian sausage to it. Delicious! Both times I used homemade chicken stock instead of veggie broth. Flavor and texture were great. I’ve never loved the lentil pastas but this is a great way to get a delicious flavor. Thanks for sharing!

A great idea, but way too much liquid.  I cooked mine for 6 minutes and the pasta was already getting mushy.  I drained it to try to save it, but ended up with a lump of mushy pasta. It probably depends on the brand of pasta.  I'll try again with less liquid and less cooking time.

This cheesy lentil pasta is the perfect hearty comfort food - made in just 20 minutes, with 6 store cupboard ingredients! Plus it&#039;s kid friendly and full of goodness.

Cheesy Lentil Pasta

300 g (~ 10 1/2 oz) pasta

(~ 1 cup) red lentils

150 g (~ 1 cup) frozen sweetcorn

150 g (~ 1 cup) frozen peas

mushrooms

175 g mature cheddar cheese, (grated (~ 1 3/4 cups when grated))

Salt

Black pepper

Add all of the ingredients except for the cheese to a large saucepan. Add a generous amount of water, and boil for around 15 minutes, until the pasta is soft and the lentils are starting to break down. Drain the water.

Add the grated cheese and some salt and pepper to the pan, and turn the heat down low. Mix well to combine, until the cheese has fully melted. Best served immediately.
