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! a Rafflecopter giveaway

This recipe is amazing! The spice blend is perfect and it took very little time to whip it up. I used wheat angel hair pasta and it worked great. I also used corn starch for the thickener instead of flour and that worked fine as well. Delicious!
