  • “Tangy and tasty – I love lentils and pasta together.Loved the goat cheese and I’m sure feta would be great too.Thanks for sharing!”

  • “very simple and tasy – i grilled some of the cheese and added it on top of the lentils and pasta layered on fresh vine tomatoes with salad leaves. Very nice”

  • “It was a bit TOO tangy- hot vinegar just doesn’t do it for me.I’ll try it again leaving out the vinegar, ’cause everything else was great.It even worked well on my whole wheat pasta!”

  • “Yum, yum, yumm!Unusual- yes, but tangy, tasty, easy and healthy.Made a couple of changes, but I do not think that it changed the integrity of the recipe at all.Made it with quinoa pasta and added some cooked kale- just so this would be a complete one-dish meal.The goat cheese melted into it nicely making a creamy sauce.The vinegar sauce was simply fantastic.Made a double amount of the sauce due to the extra kale.Used leftover as a salad dressing and it was lovely.And loved the added taste of the thyme in the lentis.We will make this again for sure!Thank you.”
