Pasta, tomatoes, herbs, red lentils, pesto, and garlic bread; I mean, you
\ncan’t go wrong with all these stuff together. This soup is a delicious and
\ncomfortable meal made in One Pot and cooked in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoy the soup with some extra garlic topping including garlic bread or
\nolive oil and some fresh basil or pesto. The lentils are made up of the
\nprotein. If using brown lentils, use cooked lentils. Veggie crumbles will
\nalso work wonderfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Ayurvedic point of View:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For vegetarians, beans , dals, and lentils are an essential source of
\nnutrition\u2014protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber, and vitamins. As
\nversatile as they are tasty, dals and lentils are used to make salads,
\nappetizers, soups, main dishes, side dishes, and desserts, too. They fit
\nwell with other foods, such as grain, vegetables, herbs, and spices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Ayurveda, all three Doshas are imbalanced by tomato . But
\nin moderation, tomatoes are also a good source of Potassium and vitamins,
\nespecially vitamin A and vitamin C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vitamin A is an antioxidant that is extracted from carotenoids, such as
\nbeta-carotene, present in tomatoes. Being an antioxidant, vitamin A helps
\nshield the body’s cells from free radicals that may damage them. Free
\nradicals are created as the body breaks down food or reactions to the
\nenvironment, such as radiation and cigarette smoke. But safety from the
\neffects of free radicals is not the only benefit. Vitamin A also influences
\ngood vision, bone growth, cell activity, reproduction, and immune system
\nactivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Servings: 3
\nTime to Prepare: 30 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

1 tsp. oil
\n1\/2 onion (chopped)
\n4 cloves of garlic (chopped)
\n1\/4 cup (48 g) red lentils (uncooked) \u2013 quick-cooking red lentils
\n(split ones) also called masoor dal
\n1 cup tomato puree (or use any thick tomato sauce such as
\nmarinara, pasta sauce or passata)
\n2 cups water or veggie broth
\n5 oz lasagna sheets
\ndash of black and white pepper
\npepper flakes to taste
\n1 tbsp. nutritional yeast
\n2 tsp. Italian seasoning (1 tsp basil and 1\/2 tsp oregano, parsley,
\na generous dash of thyme\/sage, and rosemary)
\n1\/4 tsp. each onion powder, garlic powder
\n1\/2 to 3\/4 tsp. salt (depends on if there is salt in the tomatoes or
\nother seasoning, I use 3\/4 tsp with)
\n1 cup veggies (149 g) \u2013 a combination of peppers, carrots, and
\nzucchini
\n1 to 1.5 cup diced tomato
\n1 cup (30 g) packed spinach (optional)
\nVegan pesto, vegan ricotta or mozzarella, vegan butter\/garlic
\nbread to serve (optional)
\nA tbsp. tomato paste, lemon, fennel seeds (optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
  1. Heat oil in the Instant Pot in Saut\u00e9 setting. Add the onion,
    \ngarlic, and a pinch of salt when warm. Cook for two minutes,
    \nstirring regularly.<\/li>
  2. Add the vegetables and blend in. Add the red lentils, the tomato,
    \nsalt, seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder and mix. Add a
    \ntbsp. of tomato paste for extra tomato flavor (optional). Add the
    \nlasagna sheets and water, and then blend properly. (Make sure to
    \nuse small bits and blend them well so they don’t stick)<\/li>
  3. Cover the lid and cook on Manual for 3 minutes. Allow the
    \npressure to relax for 10 minutes, then, if there is still pressure in
    \nthe container, manually release it carefully and open the lid.<\/li>
  4. Mix the black pepper, the pepper flakes, and the nutritional
    \nyeast. Taste and season with salt and spice (Italian herbs,
    \nonion\/garlic powder). Add some more salt, broth, and tang
    \n(lemon) if needed to balance.<\/li>
  5. Fold in the spinach if you have it. Let it sit for a minute. Serve
    \nwith pesto\/basil and\/or vegan ricotta\/mozzarella and garlic
    \nbread. You certainly need some vegan cheese for a more lasagna
    \ntaste. Fold in some into the soup while it’s still hot and use some
    \nmore to garnish.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Notes<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. This time might need adjustment based on your lasagna sheets
      \nor pasta. Pressure Cook for around half the period stated in the
      \npackage. So, 5 or 6 minutes if the box says 11 minutes of
      \nboiling time. I choose not to boil lasagna sheets as they give me
      \nuniformly cooked results more often than regular.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
