It should make about 3-4 servings.

I saw this recipe a while back on Allrecipes.com and made it. I was surprised how YUMMY it was. The whole family loved it, even my husband who claims to hate lentils.

Thanks for passing along!

Hello MFPers,

Just some feedback on this delicious recipe...

I doubled it and froze the individual portion amts in ziplock mini containers.

Doubling the recipe makes 8 indiv. portions appx. 1 cup which includes topping.

Just had it for lunch and let me tell YOU it was even better than freshly prepared!!

What I like about this recipe is:

Taste
Protein
Easy to Make
Inexpensive

Oh yeah and I used a bag of fresh spinach I didn't have frozen and I used ziti instead of ditalini.

WOW that was delish!!!

Thank you gynuwyne for posting this ...your recipe picks rock!!
