Veggie Pasta Penne with Cheddar Sauce

What is it?

Penne made from zucchini and lentils pairs with a smooth cheddar sauce in a 10-ounce frozen bag. It cooks in the microwave and comes out as a soft, short pasta shape with tubes that catch sauce inside. Vegetable-based penne has a mild earthy note and a texture that's close to wheat pasta, though a little softer. Compared with the marinara versions in the Veggie Pasta line, this one leans on cheese instead of tomato. Cheddar sauce coats the pieces evenly and gives the dish most of its flavor, while the zucchini and lentil base stays in the background.
