Overdo it Tomato & Basil Protein Pasta

You can be understated when it comes to other things like your clothes or your lipstick, but when you’re making this pasta, don’t hold back when it comes to adding other ingredients. This one has the expected tomato and fresh basil with sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, broccolini, and topped off with roasted cashews and lots of spices.

INGREDIENTS:

  • High protein pasta (I love the Banza Angel Hair pasta made from chick peas)

  • Vegetable broth (~1/2- 1 cup)

  • 1 heaping tablespoon of Hummus (can use store bought)

  • 1 heaping tablespoon of Kale Pesto (can use Trader Joe’s)

  • Artichoke hearts

  • Broccolini

  • Sun-dried tomatoes

  • Fresh tomatoes

  • Fresh basil

  • Roasted cashews

  • Nutritional yeast

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Boil pasta until tender, rinse

  • Saute veggies in veggie broth

  • Add seasonings

  • Add pasta

  • Add humus and pesto, toss until coated

  • Garnish with fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, and nutritional yeast or Vegan Parmesan

  • Don’t worry about saving some for later. It’s SO GOOD you’ll want to eat it all.
