Veggie protein boost: Lentil penne

The last thing we want is mushy penne. That’s why we love Modern Table Meals Mixed Lentil Penne ($6 for 10 oz., Vitacost.com). Made from green and red lentils, this gluten-free penne delivers 14 grams of energizing protein and 3 grams of filling fiber per serving. Even better, it has a neutral taste and satisfying chewiness that can easily pass for wheatbased pastas.
