Nutritional values

This pasta is packed with protein thanks to the lentil noodles and mozzarella, as well as cell-protecting antioxidants from the blueberries. 

Feta or goat cheese can also be used instead of mozzarella. If you're vegan, you can use tofu instead of cheese and apple syrup instead of honey.
