Delicious Stir Cooked Veggies with Red Lentil Penne Noodles #oilfree #vegan #glutenfree

Look what I found at Costco: Vegan penne noodles made entirely out of lentils! That is the only ingredient and it has 12 grams of protein per serving. This is the very first time that I made this and it was really quick and easy.  The recipe is plant perfect with no oil!

Stir Cooked Vegetables with Red Lentil Penne Noodles

Prep Time:  10 minutes

Cooking Time:  15 minutes

Total Time:  25 minutes

Yield:  4 servings

Ingredients:

1 package red lentil penne noodles (12 oz)

1 sweet red bell pepper chopped

1 small green zucchini chopped

12 thinly sliced brussel sprouts

15 snap pea pods chopped

1 clove garlic chopped

1 large portobello mushroom cap chopped (remove the ribs)

1 cup of chopped parsley plus a few sprigs as garnish

1 tsp dried cilantro

1 tsp curry powder

1 tsp lemon pepper

1 TBSP basil 

1 cup vegetable soup stock 

Method:

Cook the noodles in salt water for 8 to 10 minutes per package directions. Strain but don't rinse.

In a large pot or wok bring the soup stock to a boil. Cook the vegetables stirring constantly until tender.  Turn down the heat to medium and stir in the seasonings. 

Add the noodles and continue stirring until the liquids have been absorbed.

Done!

I like Nutritional Yeast so I sprinkled a little over the top and added a few sprigs of parsley as a garnish.

From the time I started cooking to the time I finished eating was 35 minutes.

Enjoy!
