15-Minute Protein Pasta Bowl

April 15, 2019

Explore Cuisine Organic Red Lentil Penne
I’ve never met a bowl of pasta I didn’t like… you too?

Meet your new favorite 15 minute meal for busy weeknights that is high is protein, loaded with veggies and get this – meat-free!

Lentil pasta aka. your best friend on meatless Monday, is the star of this dish.

I used Explore Cuisine’s Organic Red Lentil Penne which is made only from two ingredients: red lentil flour and brown rice flour to create the perfect al dente texture. The Organic Red Lentil Penne has 11 grams of protein per two ounce serving vs. traditiona pasta that has about 3 grams (depending on the brand). This pasta cooks up in minutes, is a great source of fiber organic, gluten-free, and non-GMO so it fits everyone’s diet.
