Vegan Protein Packed Pasta
This recipe is tasty and super fast to make, plus it packs a huge protein punch into one meal because the sauce is basically all beans. Bonus- this recipe is nut and soy free for those that have allergies!
Protein Packed Pasta-
1 can cannelloni beans
2 handfuls of spinach
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp oregano
2 tsp salt
2 tsp pepper
2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp tahini (pretty optional)
Just toss it all in the food processor and blend until it's nice and creamy. Ad a few spoonfuls to the pasta of your choice (I am partial to brown rice fussili pasta). It's healthy, and has a nice creamy taste. You will likely have some of the bean mix left over, and it freezes well, which is a huge bonus. You can put it aside and defrost it when you need a super fast meal.
This also pairs really well with garlic bread! The spread is soooo tasty on toasted italian bread we actually used up all the left overs snacking.
