This recipe is a great way to introduce lentils to picky eaters. My kids loved the noodles and the lentils were a sneaky way to get them to eat more protein.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I always have a bag of lentils in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.
