Made some chick pea and lentil pasta for the first time. I've had two bowls

and am ravenous. Is this normal? The sauce was feta and tomatoes. Does anyone know when the full feeling will kick in with such pasta?

1. Pasta, feta tomatoes- sounds tasty!

I tried Banza chick pea pasta with tomato sauce a while back and wouldn't do that one again.
It foams (a lot) while boiling, falls apart if slightly overcooked, and tasted a bit like Play-Doh.

3. There is enough tasty garlic that i don't mind the play dough taste. I'm trying to

eat better. Yeah it fell apart. I will cook it for a minute less next time. Google feta tomato pasta bake. It is delicious no matter what pasta you use. And so easy. And good even after 2 days in the fridge.

5. I'll have to check that out, as I love pasta (and potato) bakes.

I always overcook and have pre-made lunch for a couple of days.
My son calls it left-overs, but I call it plan-overs.
Fewer dishes, less cooking, win!

6. You add the already cooked pasta after you take the tomatoes and feta out of the oven.

You need to bake them in a big pot. I cook my pasta first in a dutch oven. Put a cup of the pasta water aside to add to the pasta sauce if it is too dry. Then i drain the pasta. Then i add the tomatoes, ev olive oil, feta and pepper in the dutch oven. I leave the lid off as i want things roasted. I roast it at 400 for 40 minutes. Take it out of the oven. Add 2 cloves of chopped garlic. Stir. Add the pasta and toss. There are lots of versions of this online.

7. I made this last night

because I saw the post here. I used Tinkylada brown rice pasta. It was a tasty indulgence. I found it quite filling, probably because of the fat content.

8. Yes. Lots of fat. But hey Italians live a long time. I make at least four

meals of it.

9. I like Banza pasta with a good sauce. Yes, it foams. I just got used to it. Yes, it doesn't taste

good without the sauce. To me it's like tofu. It's good when well seasoned. It's bad on it's own.

2. Must be some damn good pasta.

Since in my experience both lentils and chickpeas are very filling 🙂

4. It is lovely. Google it. I've made it with gluten free pasta too and the sauce

is all you taste.
