For the Pasta

Preheat oven to 400F. Toss chopped radish in oil, pinch of sea salt/pepper, and place on baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until radishes are lightly browned with crispy edges.
While radishes are roasting, prepare your lentil pasta according to package instructions in a large pot.

Mix in the lemon herb marinade and stir gently.
Once radishes are done roasting, add them to the lentil pasta, then mix in the green olives.
Place pasta in large serving bowl or individual bowls.
Garnish with lemon slices, more fresh cilantro, and sea salt/black pepper. Enjoy immediately or cold.
Leftovers keep in the fridge for 2-3 days, however best enjoyed fresh.
