Step by step
Instructions
The biggest shortcut is to use lentils from a can or vacuum-packed cooked lentils. Let the containers cool before closing and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, or in a small ovenproof dish in the oven. If you want the meal juicier on the third day, add a tablespoon of water before reheating.

Variants and alternatives
Instead of zucchini, use frozen peas, corn or a root vegetable mix. For a stronger flavor add 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or a pinch of chili to the mixture. You can replace part of the cheese with crumbled feta for a saltier, more pronounced taste. For a bigger portion of carbs, divide the lentils into containers with cooked rice, bulgur or roasted potatoes.
