What it is
This is a type of pasta made from yellow lentils. The pasta is shaped like penne, which are short tubes with angled ends. It is produced by H-E-B Organics and comes in an 8-ounce package.
How people cook with it
This pasta can be used in many of the same ways as regular pasta. It is a versatile ingredient for various meals.
- As a side dish
- In pasta salads
- With your favorite sauce
- As a base for baked dishes
To prepare, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the yellow lentil penne and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for the time indicated on the package, typically around 7-10 minutes, until tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly and rinse with cool water if using in a cold salad. Toss with your preferred sauce, vegetables, or proteins to create a complete meal.
How it differs from similar foods
It may have a slightly different texture and a more earthy flavor profile compared to wheat pasta. The cooking time can also vary.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused pasta in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Ensure the container is sealed to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. This will help keep the pasta from becoming stale or attracting pests.
