Bringing the Drama with Red Lentil Pasta!

This isn’t just any pasta! It’s red lentil rotini pasta from Tolerant Organic! Unlike traditional pasta, this pasta has got all sorts of beneficial nutrients you need in your diet! It is also gluten-free and packed with 25 grams of protein because it’s made from legumes! This pasta is a great option for those who have trouble eating their “beans with every meal.” Kenwa also adds purple carrots which are great for you and have easily digestible plant-based iron. Jane explains you should get your iron from plants if you can versus supplements. Kenwa shares an innovative tip to add the salt to your pasta after your boil it versus beforehand so it doesn’t make your pasta tough. She uses blanched or steamed cauliflower and broccoli also known as your cruciferous vegetables to add even more nutrients to the dish! Kenwa slices the garlic super thin and sautés it in olive oil with pine nuts. While Kim helps sauté, Kenwa throws in a few pinches of Daiya cheese to add a burst of cheesy flavor to the dish without using any other animals’ breastmilk. Jane says this dish is absolutely delicious and how we should be eating to avoid illnesses! Try making it at home with Kenwa’s recipe below!
