Lentil Pasta
(with Crispy Cheese Topping)

If you love crispy baked ziti corners, you’ll LOVE this crunchy cheesy pasta topping!

Ingredients:

1 lb lentil pasta – I love the brand, Tolerant! You can find it on my Amazon storefront – scroll down for link!
4 cups marinara sauce of choice

1-2 cubes of cheese of choice (I used organic, grass fed mozzarella)
1/2 cup grated pecorino Romano cheese (can swap in parmesan)

Crispy Cheese Topping:

1 cup almond flour
1 tbsp dried basil and parsley
2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp himalayan salt
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup cheese crisps – I used Sonoma Creamery parmesan crisps – they are lactose free for those who are lactose intolerant.

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375 F.
Cook lentil pasta short 1-2 mins from package directions.
Toss with half of marinara sauce and cubes of cheese.
Add to a baking dish or oven safe pan.
Top with remaining marinara.
Sprinkle grated cheese evenly over the top of the pasta.

And now, for the topping…. mix ingredients in a food processor & process till crumbly.
Add Sonoma Creamery parmesan crisps.
Pulse until cheese crisps are broken up into small pieces.
Sprinkle the topping over the pasta in an even layer.
Bake the pasta dish for 20-25 minutes or until topping is golden brown & pasta edges are bubbling.
EEAAAAATT!!!
