For night’s you don’t want to cook, this quick meal will save you from bad takeout.
I’m a huge fan of alternative pastas – those made from beans or lentils – especially when they are the vehicle to get more veggies in.
I’ve tried just about every variety of bean and lentil pasta, and I personally love chickpea pasta. It’s extremely high in protein and fiber, making it extra filling. For example, a 2 oz (dry) serving of Banza chickpea pasta has an impressive 14g of protein and 8g of fiber.
This is meant to be an easy, fuss-free dish, so use copious amounts of whatever vegetables you have on hand. (Shoot for at minimum 2-3 cups veggies). As for cooking them, steam, saute, or roast them. The trick to making the veggies roast quickly is to cut them in small pieces. (For example, that’s what I did with the sweet potato, which was ready in just 20 minutes). Also, don’t forget to add flavor – saute with garlic and onions, or sprinkle with herbs and spices after steaming or before roasting. You could try:
Also, if you have fresh herbs on hand, such as basil or parsley, chop it up and throw that on at the end, just before serving for even more flavor (and health benefits!)
Replace grated cheese with a sprinkle of almond flour and pink himalayan salt. The fat from the almonds mixed with the saltiness from the pink salt makes for a delicious dairy-free alternative. It looks and tastes just like grated cheese!
Chickpea pasta is popping up beyond just the health food store, in some more progressive grocery stores. But, I personally prefer to buy my dry goods online, because they are typically significantly cheaper than a regular supermarket or health food store.
The brands I prefer is Banza. It comes in a variety of pasta shapes.

I help busy women lose weight or clear up their acne by developing healthier eating habits, based on a plant-based paleo diet.
These crispy stuffed sweet potato skins are delicious - and of course healthy, packed with kale, quinoa, chickpeas and drizzled with a lemon herb tahini dressing.
Get ready for a flavor explosion. Sweet, salty, and (healthy) fatty - these dessert bombs have it all.
