Ingredients

  • 1 box red lentil pasta
  • 2 cooked chicken breasts Can be baked, roasted, broiled, sauteed
  • 2 cups grape tomatoes You can also use cherry if you want a slightly sweeter taste
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 cups chopped vegetables (broccoli, peppers, onions, zucchini - whatever you like to have)
  • 1 package Friendship Farmer's Cheese you can also use dripped yogurt - taste will be more tart. If use yogurt, whisk briskly until smooth before adding to recipe
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan (more to taste)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350F°

  2. Add tomatoes to medium mixing bowl and add minced garlic, 1 tbsp of the olive oil, and ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper

  3. Line baking sheet with parchment paper

  4. Place tomatoes on one half of the baking sheet

  5. Chop vegetables and place in a mixing bowl

  6. Toss with 1 Tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper

  7. Place vegetables on the other half of the baking sheet

  8. Place in oven to roast for 15 minutes. You can also place the tomatoes and vegetables in separate baking dishes

  9. While vegetables are cooking, cook red lentil pasta per instructions on box (I usually cook about a minute less because it continues to cook once it's drained and I like it firm)

  10. Drain pasta and set aside

  11. After 15 minutes of roasting the vegtables, remove the tomatoes and check the other vegetables

  12. Vegetables should be just soft - will vary per personal taste. I like them with a little crispness left

  13. If they are not to desired doneness, place back in oven for 5 - 10 minutes

  14. Turn burner to low and place pasta back in cooking pot

  15. Stir in Farmer's cheese and Parmesan

  16. Continue to stir until cheese are melted and combined with the pasta

  17. Stir in cooked tomatoes and vegetables

  18. Stir until everything is heated through - will only take a couple minutes if vegetables haven't cooled off

  19. Place in serving dishes and top with more grated cheese if desired
