Scale

Ingredients

  • 200g lentil pasta
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes), chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon mixed dried herbs (such as oregano, basil, thyme)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lentil pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp.
  3. Combine pasta and vegetables: Add the cooked lentil pasta to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir in the dried herbs, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss everything together gently until well combined and heated through.
  4. Serve: Transfer the pasta with vegetables to serving plates. Optionally, drizzle with a little more olive oil or garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

  • Use any seasonal vegetables you have on hand for variety and freshness.
  • Lentil pasta is a great gluten-free option and adds extra protein and fiber.
  • Adjust herbs and seasoning according to your preference.
  • For additional protein, consider topping with grated cheese or toasted nuts.
