About this dish
No added salt or sugar
Flavour comes from herbs, spices and the ingredients themselves.
A creamy pasta bake with no dairy at all. Red lentils, carrot and onion cook down into a rich oat milk sauce, folded through chifferi rigati, a ridged, curved pasta that holds the sauce in every bite.
Roasted broccoli on the side adds a familiar green. Vegetarian, dairy-free and egg-free, it is a comforting choice for little ones avoiding milk.
