When I make my weekly meal prep, where I included this week my High Protein Chia Pudding, High Protein Vegan Salad, and Perfect Bars, I always try to come up with something yummy and filling for dinner. So this week, I made pasta. Not just regular pasta like my Vegan Broccoli Pasta, but rather a high-protein option all with natural ingredients. One portion of this pasta recipe brings over 26 grams of protein!
Ingredients and Substitutions
Cauliflower – I sometimes struggle to make my kids eat cauliflower, but cooking it and turning it into a sauce makes it completely unnoticeable and it brings a fantastic texture to the pasta. You can also use broccoli here, but the sauce will be green. Soy Milk – You can use any plant-based milk, but if you’re chasing proteins, use soy milk. It’s naturally rich in protein and there are even protein-enriched version available with as much as 10g of protein per 100ml. Vegetable Stock – You can use veggie stock or a seasoning cube in water. Onion – You can use either yellow onions or shallots, they are the fancier version. Nutritional Yeast – Nutritional yeast brings many nutrients, including Vitamin B12, and a slight cheesy taste. You can skip it if you don’t have any. Olive Oil – I like to use my local extra-virgin olive oil, but feel free to use any oil you like. Pasta – All pasta work for this recipe, take the one you love. Cashews – Cashew nuts bring a lot of protein and turn the sauce creamy.
