Plant-based Protein-filled Penne

Looking for a pasta recipe that packs a 30-gram protein punch plus lots of veggies, healthy fats, and fibre to make a great balanced meal?

I've got your back.

Here's what you'll need:

• 3/4 cup wholewheat penne dry
• 1/2 cup shelled boiled edamame
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 cup tomato sauce of choice
• 1 cup of spinach or kale (or other greens of choice)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• seasonings to taste (I use crushed red chili flakes, fresh cilantro, and fresh basil)

Double up the recipe if you're making it for 2!

Instructions:

1. Boil your pasta until it's the texture you like. I like mine al dente when it comes to penne. Strain the pasta and use your olive oil to coat the penne.

2. While your pasta is boiling, heat up your pasta sauce in a separate pot. Add your boiled edamame, greens, nutritional yeast, and seasonings.

3. Mix the two together and enjoy!
