Simply prepare the masala, add the spices, coconut milk, and spaghetti, and you’ve got one delicious dinner.Barilla Red Lentil Spaghetti Creamy Masala Pasta

    Barilla® Red Lentil Spaghetti

    For my Creamy Masala Pasta, I used Barilla® Red lentil Spaghetti which is made with one simple ingredient – red lentil flour. Barilla® Red Lentil Spaghetti is made with 23g of protein per 3.5oz serving. Additionally, the red lentil spaghetti is gluten-free and non-GMO verified.

    You can purchase Barilla® Red Lentil Spaghetti at Walmart in the pasta aisle.

    What is Creamy Masala Pasta?

    Masala is essentially sauteing ginger, garlic, onions, and tomatoes until it forms a paste-like consistency. For this recipe, I omitted ginger, but I did use garlic, onions, and tomatoes. Throw in some thick coconut milk and lentil pasta, and you’ve got the most luscious Creamy Masala Red Lentil Pasta.

    This dish is bursting with flavor. The spices and the tomato masala combination are delightful. Pair this dish with some red wine and you've got a winner. Hope you guys give this recipe a try and let me know what you think.

    Can I make this recipe vegan, gluten-free?

    This recipe is already vegan and gluten-free.
