Chickpea and yellow pea fusilli HP 250g
Pumpkin pie 500g
Onion 150g
Garlic 50g
Tomato paste
Liquid cream 250 ml
Olive oil 100ml
Green sage 50g
Salt/Pepper
Preparation Instructions
- Boil the pasta over low heat for 5-6 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally.
- Clean the pumpkin, cut it into cubes and boil it until soft. Remove from heat and drain.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan, where you will brown the whole sage leaves, over medium heat, until they become crispy and take on a nice colour. Take them out on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
- In the remaining oil, already flavoured with sage, add the finely chopped onion and garlic, brown them, then add the tomato paste.
- Put the pumpkin cubes, the liquid cream and the cooked pasta.
- Cook everything together for another 2-3 minutes
- Serve immediately, garnishing with the crisp sage leaves. Grated parmesan can be added.
This recipe is a delicious, healthy, and protein-rich combination!
Specifications
High Protein Sam Mills pasta contains no additives and is made solely from legumes, which is why the water they cook in becomes slightly cloudy, due to the natural starch. Once the recommended cooking time is finished, the pasta can either be placed directly into the pre-prepared sauce (the natural starch helps bind the sauce to the pasta), or rinsed with warm water. You can find here more information regarding the correct cooking method.
