Sometimes you just need to eat something gluten-free and easy.  Banza pasta is your answer.

Did I ever think I'd find a pasta that I'd love that was gluten-free?  I wasn't worried like some people are.  Let's just say It's been harder to find a delicious gluten-free bread (and I finally found one, but that's for another post) over pasta. Pasta is easy.  There are so many brands that use different ingredients, like Banza so you don't have to feel deprived.

WHAT IS BANZA PASTA MADE FROM?

  • Chickpeas
  • Tapioca
  • Pea Protein

When you venture into the gluten-free world It's a good idea to keep an open mind.  Instead of finding something that replaces an old favorite (which can easily set you up for disappointment), train your palate to seek out new ingredients and new flavors.  That is the joy of eating different kinds of food, and it can be an exciting journey if you allow it.

Banza pasta marinara that's easy to make and tastes great both vegan and gluten-free

A while back (back when my photos turned out yellow and I didn't know how to edit) I was visiting the family.  Since the family isn't gluten-free friendly, I knew it would be a pasta night.  Banza pasta to the rescue.  So I headed over to Whole Foods and grabbed 3 ingredients that would make this dish soar!

  • Ready made shaved brussels sprout
  • organic dried oregano
  • Rao's Marinara sauce

Easy, Banza pasta marinara both vegan and gluten-free

Most pasta that is made from wheat does not contain a lot of protein.  There are about 25 grams of protein and 13 grams of fiber per serving!!  That's twice the amount of protein and 3 times the amount of fiber that your average pasta would have.  Another plus?  NO BLOAT.

Combining the sprouts, oregano, marinara sauce, and chickpea pasta proved to be a hearty, protein-filled meal.  The pasta was made by the direction on the box.  During the cooking of the pasta, I sauteed the shredded brussels sprout.  As the smell of oregano filled the kitchen, I knew I had created the perfect comfort meal!
