Lentil Spaghetti
Updated: Jan 13, 2019
This is the perfect spaghetti recipe if you're looking for something wholesome and filling. The lentils replace the ground beef so well that my dad, who has always been a meat eater, exclaimed "you can't have that, there's meat in there!" when he saw me eating the spaghetti! I'll take that as a definite win ;)
This is the perfect meal if you're short on time, 20-30minutes and it's ready to go.
