How long does Potamya yellow lentil pasta take to cook?
The cooking time for Potamya yellow lentil pasta depends on the product and how firm you like it, so use the package directions. Taste a piece near the end of cooking; leaving it in boiling water too long can make it mushy or break apart.
What does Potamya yellow lentil pasta taste like?

What is Potamya yellow lentil pasta (raw)?
Potamya yellow lentil pasta (raw) is a dried pasta product made from yellow lentils, rather than a cooked dish. Boil it according to the packet directions before serving; its legume base gives it a different nutritional profile from standard wheat pasta.
Once cooked, it has a mild lentil flavour and a tender, substantial texture. It works with tomato sauce, roasted vegetables, herbs or a simple drizzle of olive oil, much like other pasta, and can be served as a main meal or a side. It is high in protein and provides fibre; a 100 g portion has 24 g of protein. For a lighter bowl, pair it with plenty of vegetables and keep rich sauces modest.
