Growing up in an Italian home I ate pasta all the time and it’s still a staple in my diet. I really enjoy coming up with tasty ways to jazz up pasta and I feel the possibilities are endless even with vegan and gluten-free ingredients! Adding mushrooms or lentils to pasta can imitate a hearty “meaty” ragu and here is one example of how to make it!

Further Food Commentary:

This vegetarian twist on an Italian classic is perfect for any day of the week—even busy weeknights. By using gluten-free pasta, this dish is easy to digest, even for those with Celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. The many vegetables add tons of vitamins and minerals like calcium and vitamins A and D!
