Lentil Ragu Linguine
with fresh parsley and cheesy topping
In Italian cuisine, ragu is traditionally a succulent meat-based accompaniment to pasta dishes. Though this recipe has the pasta part down, it swaps out meat for protein-packed lentils stewed in a rich, thick and tasty tomato sauce.

Instructions

- Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
