Are you looking for a pasta alternative that your kids would actually eat? I love getting sneaky with my kids in the kitchen, but they always catch on to my tricks! It's not a crime to want to feed your kids well, but it is something that everyone should absolutely enjoy. I always love the challenge of cooking the recipes my children request for dinner, and this time I was happy to deliver my daughter's request for Penne Vodka Pasta. I thought it was the perfect opportunity to finally try red lentil pasta - the bright red color was gorgeous and worked perfectly in sync.
