So grab your shopping list, hit the market and get ready to enjoy this creamy pasta.

Who doesn’t love pasta? This creamy pasta is sure to be a favorite on your fall menu. It’s warm, hearty, creamy and packed with protein. With 47 grams of protein it makes hitting your daily protein goals a breeze. Using red lentil pasta (or an alternative protein pasta) also makes this recipe perfect for anyone with a gluten intolerance. I particularly love the taste and texture of Trader Joe’s Sedanini Red Lentil Pasta. Bonus, it is just as great the next day. So dig in and enjoy!
