Made some chick pea and lentil pasta for the first time. I've had two bowls
and am ravenous. Is this normal? The sauce was feta and tomatoes. Does anyone know when the full feeling will kick in with such pasta?

It foams (a lot) while boiling, falls apart if slightly overcooked, and tasted a bit like Play-Doh.

(6,037 posts)I always overcook and have pre-made lunch for a couple of days.
My son calls it left-overs, but I call it plan-overs.
Fewer dishes, less cooking, win!

(123,448 posts)You need to bake them in a big pot. I cook my pasta first in a dutch oven. Put a cup of the pasta water aside to add to the pasta sauce if it is too dry. Then i drain the pasta. Then i add the tomatoes, ev olive oil, feta and pepper in the dutch oven. I leave the lid off as i want things roasted. I roast it at 400 for 40 minutes. Take it out of the oven. Add 2 cloves of chopped garlic. Stir. Add the pasta and toss. There are lots of versions of this online.

(24,891 posts)good without the sauce. To me it's like tofu. It's good when well seasoned. It's bad on it's own.
