Ingredients

  • 200g lentils
  • 130g pasta
  • 80g tenderstem broccoli
  • 80g green beans
  • 20g lemon juice
  • 5g olive oil
  • 6g garlic
  • fresh parsley, thyme & black pepper
  • lemon wedge

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the tenderstem and green beans, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Cook the wholewheat pasta in salted boiling water for 10-12 minutes until al dente; save a splash of pasta water.

  3. 3

    Simmer the cooked green lentils with a splash of stock for 5 minutes until they absorb the flavours.

  4. 4

    Toss the protein in lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and herbs before cooking, and squeeze over more lemon to finish.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the tenderstem and green beans for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: wholewheat pasta first, then the veg and green lentil, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the lemon wedge.
