    Vegetarian pasta protein ideas: lentils, any beans (butter beans make a great white sauce base), tofu, tempeh, tvp, seitan, bacon bits (these are accidentally vegan, lol), any nuts (soaked cashews are great for a sauce base too), nutritional yeast, etc. Please add more vegetarian protein ideas in the comments!

    • @heidihenninger6253
      @heidihenninger6253 10 месяцев назад +42

      Great list! You can also get protein directly from your pasta by using a chickpea or lentil variety.

      Whole wheat pasta actually has a lot of proteine also egg is obviously a great source, you can also use ricotta and it makes a great sauce!!

    Thanks for the video! My husband and I love this combination: pancetta/bacon, garlic, brown button mushrooms, jarred artichokes, lemon zest and juice, finely chopped tuscan kale and parmesan. Add a bit of pasta water if needed. Works well with any small shaped pasta!

    my absolute favorite paste recipe/formula is sautéed veg with olive oil and garlic, then add the pasta and a bunch of lemon juice and zest, a pinch of chili flakes, then finished with some parmesan. i could eat it every day for the rest of my life. i highly recommend it.

    3 vegan ideas for pasta 1: cherry tomatos garlic and oregano/ basil (one of my fav's) 2: pesto witch 1:1 ratio ish of basil and spinach with some pine nuts and olive oil 3:mushrooms and white wine and optional cherry tomatos and cilantro (need to cook the mushrooms first with salt and de-glaze with the wine)

    I have a harvest right freeze drier. When I have left over meat (chicken, pork, turkey) I cube them and F/D. I do this with onions, mushrooms and garlic. When I make sauces for pasta or a stir fry using F/D materials makes the dinner faster BUT also a great flavor punch. I reconstitute the F/D materials with my sauce. All the materials absorb the sauce flavors and become more flavourful!

    I put a little butter, some grated cheese, and dried herbs in a bowl while my tortolini or ravioli is cooking in the microwave. Yes. It cooks perfectly. I add a couple tablespoons of the pasta water in the bowl to make a sauce and then add the pasta and stir. Dinner in 5 to 15 minutes. A can of tuna or chicken optional.

    Immediately they asked me to send a link.
    I was happy to comply.

    Will you be reviewing hand rolled pasta or flat bread.
