In reply to Roberta Gibbons. oh no! Sorry to hear that, Roberta! It most certainly could be the different kinds of pasta. I make this fairly often and almost always use the trader joes brand of red lentil pasta. I've also discovered that the stove temperature can affect it a bit. If the liquid is not at a nice simmer, not as much of the liquid will be cooked off and absorbed like it should be.

A great idea, but way too much liquid. I cooked mine for 6 minutes and the pasta was already getting mushy. I drained it to try to save it, but ended up with a lump of mushy pasta. It probably depends on the brand of pasta. I’ll try again with less liquid and less cooking time.

In reply to Brita. I dont know about lentil pasta but I know that with brown rice pasta in the instant pot only take 0-2mins at high pressure with a quick release. Could be similar?

Give me a break. There’s something amiss here. Sounds like you have a personal issue.

In reply to Sosorrywishicouldsayilikeit. No stars. Gross sludgy mess. I couldn’t believe pasta could cook in liquid that didn’t even cover it so I doubled the broth and then I forgot to time it, so had to throw it out. Did the recipe mean to cook the pasta before step 1? 12 Oz of pasta and 3.5 cups of broth and a can of tomatoes just doesn’t compute. Maybe I should have trusted you more and just followed but the back of the pasta box said it needed 3 liters of liquid. ???

My husband and I tried this last night and we just LOVED it! He added a small amount of lemon juice to his dish and I will do that to the whole dish the next time. It gave it a different twist. Thank you for sharing your recipes.

What size is your can of tomatoes? I live overseas and our package sizes are different than the USA.

Delicious and easy recipe! I’ve made this twice now, the first time pretty much exactly like the recipe with the red lentil penne. The second time I used the Trader Joe’s yellow lentil and brown rice spaghetti and I also added some ground italian sausage to it. Delicious! Both times I used homemade chicken stock instead of veggie broth. Flavor and texture were great. I’ve never loved the lentil pastas but this is a great way to get a delicious flavor. Thanks for sharing!
