A recipe for an amazing one-pot pasta!

Meals from one pot are an ideal solution when you need to quickly think of a lunch or dinner, and you do not have too much time or will to prepare long recipes. Not only are these delicious dishes, but also meals where you use just one pot in the whole process.

There are hundreds of different recipes for lunch or dinner from one pot. We bring you a recipe for fine pasta with mushrooms and lentils that crack from protein even though it does not contain a single gram of meat.

Ingredients for pasta from one pot:

• 700 ml of vegetable stock
• 400 ml of chopped canned tomatoes
• 300 grams of mushrooms
• 300 grams of dried pasta if desired
• 50 grams of parmesan
• 400 grams of lentils
• 1 red pepper
• 1 onion
• 2-3 cloves of garlic
• salt and pepper as desired
• vegetable oil
• herbs as desired

Preparation:

Heat a little oil in a large pot, then add the diced onion to it. When the onion softens, add sliced ​​peppers and mushrooms to the pot and simmer for a few minutes. Then add the chopped garlic, stir and simmer for about half a minute.

Drizzle the mixture in a pot with the vegetable stock and canned tomatoes. Add the pasta and lentils from the can that you previously washed and drain off the excess water. Add salt and pepper and cover the pot. Make sure all the pasta is under the liquid to cook evenly and completely.  Cook for 10 to 15 minutes until the pasta is cooked through, stirring occasionally so that the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pot.

At the end of cooking, add grated parmesan and herbs as desired and serve warm with a seasonal salad. Bon appetit!

Tip plus:

In this recipe, you can also use red dry lentils, which are the shortest cooked of all other types of lentils. Add it at the same time as the pasta. Just be careful to add more liquid if you opt for this option because dried lentils will "drink" a lot of water during cooking.

This is a very flexible recipe that allows you to consume vegetables that are nearing the end of their shelf life. Instead of mushrooms, you can add carrots, zucchini, eggplant... whatever you want. Instead of cooked canned lentils, you can also use already cooked beans or chickpeas.
