INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef (90% lean)
1/2 cup Cooked Lentils
1 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/2 cup Tomato Basil Sauce
2 Tbsp Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Minced Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the lean ground beef to the pan, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook thoroughly until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the cooked lentils and allow them to warm up in the pan for 2 minutes, mixing well with the beef.
Pour in the tomato basil sauce and toss in the fresh basil leaves. Let the sauce simmer for another 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld.
Combine the cooked pasta with the beef, lentil, and sauce mixture. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Plate the dish and garnish with a few extra basil leaves if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced dinner.
