High-Protein Vegan Marry Me Pasta #plantbasedrecipes

If you spent more than 5 minutes on Foodtok last month, chances are you’ve come across a version of the viral “Marry me chicken pasta”, and if you’re like me, you were probably drooling. Of course, I wanted to veganise it but also make it extra nourishing, and while we were at it, I decided it was going to be this week’s meal prep.

The combo of onions, capsicum, and sundried tomato with creamy cashew sauce, butter beans, spices and greens is unsurprisingly very tasty, and I’ve enjoyed it so much that I’ve made it 3 times already since trying it.

To make it high protein (35g per bowl), we used lentil pasta. I love red lentil pasta, I’ve tried so many pulses pasta, and they’re definitely my favourite texture. Lentils are also easier to digest than most beans, so if you’re still new to the bean life, it’s a great one to stock up on.

Looks so yummy. I plan to make this today. Does it work stored in the fridge and eaten cold or as a warm dish? Many thanks 😊

[cecilyberhardt]

Love you and your cooking and your videos too

[stephhhineee]

I wonder how it would be using silken tofu in the sauce for more protein

[yatindrasingh]

how its 35 gm per serving (is one bowl in video a serving) because that would require at least 300gm butter beans per serve

[mightymithi]

Can we store in fridge for couple more days and eat?

[ahoritaHOY]

Est-ce qu’on peut utiliser cannellini en place de butter beans?🤔TQ

[eurcvmo]

Is there an alternative to
Spinach
Can someone suggest something ?

[janellestuckey]

Not trying to be mean, but I can’t with the voice. It just drives me up the wall.

Is this accent real? It’s cute but is it real?
