Protein-Packed Chickpea Pasta Recipe

Y’all must try this one! And don’t forget to share with someone who would love it to!

So I tried out the hype of @eatbanza chickpea pasta and it was soo good and so filling! What I love most about it was it is a bit higher in protein and 5 grams of fiber per serving!

This dish also adds cottage cheese into the sauce increasing the total protein content per serving to about 18grams of protein! Would be an awesome vegetarian meal option for those aiming to reduce animal meats in their diet! Not to mention great for kids too!

Ingredients:
2 red bell peppers, cubed
1 yellow onion, cubed
5 garlic cloves, sliced
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 cup low fat cottage cheese
1/2 cup low sodium vegetable broth (*or more for a thinner sauce).
1 box Banza chickpea pasta, cooked per directions
*Optional Parmesan cheese

Directions: Preheat oven to 400F. Chop the bell peppers, onions, and garlic and mix with olive oil and salt and pepper, place on a lined sheet pan. Bake for about 30 minutes until veggies softened. In a blender, add roasted veggies, cottage cheese, and vegetable stock. You may add more stock if wanting a thinner sauce. Cook pasta per box. Add sauce to cooked pasta and top with Parm cheese!
