 This is a new take on an old classic. We've replaced beef with green lentils and added a shortcut by using pre-made marinara sauce. Green lentils are packed with iron, and the Vitamin C in the marinara helps enhance iron absorption. Bell peppers round out this dish and pack every inch of it with plant-based goodness. Makes 1 medium serving.

Stir and heat for about 10 minutes. 4. Cook the pasta as directed on the package. 5. Pour the sauce over the pasta and season with salt, pepper and nutritional yeast and serve.
