HOW TO MAKE VEGAN PASTA: A High Protein, Gluten Free Dinner Recipe

Hi There! Welcome to this awesome pasta recipe, where I'll tell you exactly how to make delicious, vegan/gluten free pasta dinner recipe, high in protein (about 18g per serving, makes 4 servings) so you can BULK UP!


Not why you're here? Fair enough. That's not why I made it lol... BUT, if you're concerned with protein and want a deliciously vegan way to improve on that macro, you're in the right spot.

SOME TIPS UP FRONT:
 
You'll want to use Lentil Pasta (we like penne style), because it gives you a ton of protein and actually has the best texture (in my opinion) of all the GF pasta options. Yes. I've tried ALL of them. 

Use a vegan meat you enjoy. We like Beyond, not everyone does. You can use Soy Curls too, and btw here's how to cook those: 

 

THAT IS ALL! HERE ARE THE INGREDIENTS AND STEPS: 

INGREDIENTS


Fresh/Frozen Veg: 

  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 1 tbs minced garlic
  • 1 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped bell pepper
  • 1 cup frozen spinach
  • 680 ml tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • 1/2 cup artichoke hearts


Oil: 

  • 2 tbsp of your favorite high temp (We use safflower)


Vegan Meat: 

  • 4 oz vegan meat


Pasta: 

  • 1 box (8 oz) red lentil penne pasta


Vegan Cheese: 

  • Hand full of your favorite, pre shredded or shredded from block (Daiya, etc)

 

STEPS


Make Sauce: 

  • Over low - medium heat, add: Oil, Onion, Garlic. 
  • Let simmer and stir for 5-10 minutes, or until onion starts to turn translucent (that's a fun word :) 
  • Next add: Mushrooms, Bell peppers, Vegan meat. 
  • Simmer and stir occasionally until vegan meat is about cooked. 
  • Add: Spinach, Tomato sauce, Artichokes, Basil, Rosemary. 
  • Simmer on Medium Heat for about 10 minutes. 
  • Now let's start the pasta. 


Make Pasta: 

  • Bring 6-8 quarts of water to a boil. 
  • Add pasta, boil for 8-10 minutes (unless package says otherwise). 
  • After cooked, dump in strainer and run cold water over it (to stop from cooking). 


How To Finish: 

  • Add: Pasta
  • Stir until pasta is coated with sauce. 
  • Add: Cheese
  • Cover, let cheese melt for about 5 minutes.

Great flavor!

I have now used No Chix bouillon for potato and leek soup, and two pots of spicy sausage, white bean and kale (all vegan). I tend to add a little extra for a more hearty stock. The flavor is great. I love how simple and clean the ingredients are.
