Ingredient Notes:
Green Lentils: For the lentil bolognese sauce in this rigatoni pasta recipe, I used green lentils from Bob’s Red Mill. Green lentils have a peppery flavor and dark green color. You don’t need to pre-soak them and they cook in just 25-minutes. Nutritional Yeast: Nutritional yeast is sometimes called nooch and is a staple in most vegan or vegetarian pantries. It’s a complete protein, and jammed packed with B vitamins. It also has minerals like zinc in it too! It’s really easy to sprinkle in place of parmesan cheese, on top of salads, etc. for its added benefits.
