A delicious tomato and lentil pasta sauce made with red lentils and packed with protein and fibre. A great way to get some extra nutrition into a simple kids pasta dish!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

If there’s one meal I know my kids will consistently eat, it’s pasta! And the more simple the better! They love nothing more than a big bowl of pasta with tomato sauce, topped with some grated cheese and so I’m always looking for ways to sneak in some nutrition to their favourite dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For years now I’ve been making my Hidden Veggie Tomato Sauce<\/a> and earlier this year I started making another version, this time with hidden lentils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lentils are an incredibly nutritious food to feed to kids. They are packed with fibre and help to stabilise blood sugar levels after a meal. They are also a great source of plant-based protein and B Vitamins too.<\/p>\n\n\n
