With spring time and new beginnings around the corner, many of us are reminded to prioritize our health. Although my hope is that we all prioritize our health all year round, there’s something about the year being new and starting a new page that rejuvenates our health goals. I am a big proponent of making health goals easy and enjoyable. What better motivation is there than actually enjoying your journey to better health? What we choose to eat is important, but that does not mean it has to be boring. Making health goals enjoyable includes making meals simple, delicious, and of course, HEALTHY!

That is why I love using Pasta Lensi’s new Lentil & Vegetable Blend Pastas, because it is a legume pasta that is full of flavor. It starts with one simple ingredient, lentils, and blends in veggies and spices for extra flavor. So, when I saw there was a Lentil Pasta with Beet and Ginger, I could not wait to try it with my recipe for garlic-ginger sauce. I just knew it would be a match made in taste-bud heaven, and I was so right! And now, I am excited to share my Stir Fry Veggie Pasta with you.
This simple recipe is divided into three short parts – the pasta, the garlic-ginger sauce and the stir fry vegetables. Once done, they are combined for a delicious, healthy, plant-based dish that you can enjoy for lunch or dinner. I like to make this in batches because it is a great dish for meal prep.
I love stir frys because they’re a great way to top your plate with a variety of nutritious vegetables. I chose some of my favorite vegetables for this stir fry recipe, but they can easily be swapped out for vegetables of your preference. Pasta Lensi Lentil Pasta with Beets and Ginger is also loaded with plant-based goodness! We’ve got veggies on veggies going on here, and I just love it! This Pasta Lensi Lentil Pasta with Beet and Ginger is a good source of protein, iron and potassium. It is also an excellent source of fiber, it is gluten free, vegan, cholesterol-free and very low in sodium. With this bold-flavored legume pasta being simple and nutritious, it pairs perfectly with this sweet and savory garlic-ginger sauce that I hope you try out and enjoy for yourself.
