Ok, so I was a bit unsure how good this would taste, but I had all the ingredients in the kitchen and was looking for a meal idea with the little I had. This was so delicious! I added some more seasonings to it because I didn't have much brooth left. it was a simple, quick (might I add) recipe! Thanks for sharing this!! I will do this again!

I first tried this pasta at my friend's Christmas dinner and even though I usually love nonveg meals, this one being completely veg was very enjoyable and delish 😋
So I looked up recipes online to make it at home and found this one to be the most authentic 👌🏽
Sometimes I do add sliced grilled chicken breast 😅 to make it more filling for my kid.
But overall, definitely one of my favorite dishes 😊

What a fantastic (mostly vegan) budget friendly meal. Will try

I like your energy. Thank you for sharing. I was searching for a way to put spaghetti and spaghetti together and this is perfect because I can pour the lentil base over the spaghetti or add it as you did.

The only minus:
Having you stare at me felt like unbroken eye contact which made me very anxious...as in my heart rate as increased significantly.

[mariachamberlain]

You are brilliant with your recipes, I love them! ❤
Please be careful with your shopping....scared me you might missed when looking at the camera at the same time 😮❤

[Aroundtheglobo]

What are the measurements? Want to try this delicious meal this week 😊

[kirisutegomen]

I made this and it was good, just not as creamy

[mystic]

You have a great smile. Makes me want to smile too! 😅

I wish this channel existed when I was raising my children.

[janetlova]

did you soak the lentils before you added them in the pot?
