Lentil Enchilada Pasta w/ Easy Homemade Sauce {oil-free} + Giveaway!

07 Mar Lentil Enchilada Pasta w/ Easy Homemade Sauce {oil-free} + Giveaway!

Lentil. Enchilada. Pasta.

Comfort from the pasta, with a light & fresh touch from the greens and avocado. How had I never thought of pairing these three before?! They are a trio made in heaven 😉 I wanted to spice things up a bit from my usual lunches for school, and I was pleasantly surprised by how easily it was done. By simply playing around with ingredients that I usually have on hand in the kitchen, this masterpiece was born.

I shared a sneak peak of this recipe on my Instagram a few weeks ago, and ya’ll were all lit up for it! I was actually inspired by one of my good friends Taryn Rasgon of Vegetaryn to try out this combo, and now I understand all of her hype. I put a bit of a twist on it and added a Mexica flare, and it was perfect for my preference. Honestly, put cilantro, avocado & nutritional yeast on anything and I will be all over it. And guess what?! I have teamed up with Jovial Foods to give you all the chance to an awesome prize pack! Enter below and you will be in the running to win: 12 oz. Organic Whole Grain Einkorn Penne Rigate, 2 lbs of Organic Einkorn Whole Grain Flour, Organic Sourdough Einkorn Crackers and a 18 .3 oz. jar Organic Crushed Tomatoes, perfect for making this Lentil Enchilada Pasta recipe!
