This One-Pot Lentil Pasta Primavera is a gluten-free, vegan, flavorful, springtime pasta dish that’s so easy you don’t even need to boil the pasta separately!free from: gluten, dairy, tree nuts, peanuts, shellfish, fish, egg, soy
½cupfresh basilfinely chopped (I used fresh basil and parsley, plus more for garnish)
Instructions
In a wide-brimmed large pan or large pot, combine water and red lentil pasta. Cover pan, place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
When water is starting to simmer and gently boil, uncover and stir pasta, breaking up any pasta clumps.
Add all remaining ingredients, except the herbs. Stir to combine, cover, and allow to cook 7-8 minutes.
Uncover, stir in fresh herbs, and continue to finish cooking uncovered until pasta is al dente and all water has been absorbed or evaporated (about 1 minute).
If desired, garnish with additional fresh herbs and serve immediately.
Notes
You can substitute other vegetables - if you're using fresh vegetables you may need to add a small additional amount of water and may need less cooking time (add them after pasta has been boiling a couple minutes).You can try other pastas/ pasta substitutes: I'd recommend once boiling, check the pasta after the low end of the cooking time on the package (i.e. if package says cooks in 5-7 minutes, check at 5 minutes).
