#HechoEnCasa | Receta super ECONÓMICA! Como hacer una PASTA CON LENTEJAS!

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Prepare lentils by rinsing them under cold water and set aside.

Chop red onion finely and grate the carrot.

Heat a pot over medium heat and add a pinch of salt to the onion and carrot mixture.

Add the lentils to the pot and cook them raw, without soaking beforehand.

Add water to cover the lentils and bring to a gentle simmer.

Cook the lentils for about 30 minutes, checking occasionally until tender.

In another pot, add water and bring it to a boil for the pasta.

Once the lentils are cooked, season them with salt and add a bit of milk to create a creamy sauce.

Add the pasta directly into the lentil mixture, ensuring it is covered with enough liquid.

Stir the pasta and lentils together, adjusting the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.

Cook the pasta in the lentil mixture until al dente, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

If the mixture becomes too thick, add more milk or water as needed to maintain a creamy consistency.

Once the pasta is cooked, serve hot, optionally garnished with grated cheese.
