View ProfileA creative modern twist on the Italian classic, this rich, savory vegetarian entrée is crafted with tender lentils, umami-rich mushrooms, and crunchy toasted walnuts simmered in a robust tomato sauce seasoned with aromatic herbs. Served over a bed of nutty whole-wheat penne and garnished with fresh basil, each forkful offers a perfectly balanced combination of flavors and textures. It’s perfect as-is, and even better with a fresh green salad or crusty bread.
