Easy 35-Minute Plant-Based Pasta

Well by now you must be able to tell that I have a thing for pasta and really simple recipes. This plant-based pasta dish is fabulous, flavorsome, and easy to follow. It takes you 10 minutes to prep your ingredients, 35 minutes to make, and probably nothing short of a minute to inhale. This protein pasta dish is particularly special because it packs so many vegetables, spices, and protein all in one.

Why you’ll love this plant-based pasta:

• It’s healthy
• It’s filled with vegetables

• So simple to make

You could easily turn this sauce into the perfect meal to make, or pop it into containers and freeze for meal prep! It is just that nourishing and delicious that I recommend you make loads of batches to enjoy on those days where you hardly have time to brush your hair (that’s a thing right?).

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• enough fettuccine or pasta to feed your family - this sauce is for 4 servings
• 2 tbsp EVOO
• 3 small onions chopped
• 2 celery sticks cubed
• 2 carrots cubed
• 3 to matoes ripe, quartered
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp cumin
• 1 cup oyster mushrooms roughly chopped
• 1 jar of your favourite tomato sauce I used organic vegetable sauce - no added salt
• 1 can of lentils strained and washed
• garnish with chives
• enjoy with nutritional yeast

Instructions

 

• Into a large sauce pan add your EVOO, onions, celery and carrots. Let them cook for 10 minutes on low heat. Stir occasionally to avoid burning .
• Add your tomatoes, spices, and mushrooms. Cook for another 5 minutes on low.
• Now add your sauce, and your lentils. Let this simmer for 20 minutes. Stir and keep an eye on it. You will know your pasta is ready when the fresh tomatoes are easily crushed with your mixing spoon.
• Cook your pasta as instructed and enjoy warm or cold!
• I garnished with chives but anything green, flavourful and colourful works! Make sure to add nutritional yeast!
• Note: add more seasoning to taste, depends on what you like, I am a slight salt addict! (our secret)
