[quote=Anonymous]I made it last night. By accident I did what a previous poster suggested - wasn't ready to serve it immediately so let it sit in the water, which I think improved the taste. Having never tried a bean pasta before, didn't know what to expect - bought it because I like red lentils. Tasted it after cooking, according to package directions when it was al dente and wasn't thrilled with texture or taste. It was still slightly red in color. Let it cook longer and then turned off the heat. After taking it off the burner I let it sit in the water. Ultimately, it turned yellow like red lentils and there was little flavor. I seasoned Trader Joe's vegeburger with Italian seasoning and garlic granules, browning it, and then added three sauces (two Italian marina sauces, one being Trader Joe's Rustico, and a container of their pizza sauce), more garlic and a little vegetarian beef bouillon. In each bowl I put the pasta and covered it with the "meat sauce" topped with shredded Chai cheese - surprisingly delicious. My family loved it!  Of course meat eaters can use real beef. [/quote]
