(I’m never super excited about leftover pasta so tend to make it for a single meal, then the jar sits forgotten.)

Instead of my usual Sunday food prep of giant salads and soups I made this today, using a full cup of dried lentils, extra garlic, and herbs the de Provence. Used 2 cups water so it didn’t need draining and just dumped in the full jar of pasta sauce 30 min later and let them simmer for a bit. Added half a pound of cooked whole wheat rotini and divided up into 4 servings for this week. Food waste, begone!

(Oh and made the cauliflower soup last night and then your chocolate chip cookies today while this was cooking … you are the best :)

Hi Beth, I love the idea of a little bit of balsamic vinegar! Thanks for sharing and I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe.

It’s even better the second day. I add a swirl of balsamic vinegar to mine. Yummy!

With the marinara) are amazing! They will become part of the rotation. I made a mistake – needed to double it. Doubled the marinara but forgot to double the lentils. Didn’t matter a whit…it was delicious. I really love this website – I am going back for something new tonight! Thank you so much.

Hi Ruth, I’m glad you have another recipe for your rotation!

Definitely a “go-to” for Meatless Monday!

Hi Emily, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I do turn to it for a quick dinner when I’m in a hurry.

It is so quick to make (compared to most pasta recipes), and it tastes great, especially if you add an absurd amount of parmesan cheese.
