Roasted Red Pepper Protein Pasta
Makes 4 servings: 278 calories, 28g protein per serving
This is one of those healthy protein pasta dishes that is so easy and so good. If you’re craving a pasta night that tastes comforting but won’t leave you feeling sluggish afterward, give this a try. Its high protein, super flavorful, and fills you up and light at the same time. I used my Kaizen high protein low carb pasta to keep it filling and blood sugar friendly, but use any pasta you enjoy.
Ingredients3 red bell peppersHalf a small onion1/2 shallot3 garlic cloves1 tsp Olive oilSalt, pepper1 tsp sweet paprika1/2 tsp oregano or thyme2 tbsp tomato paste1/2 cup cottage cheese4 tbsp cream1/3 cup bone broth1 box high protein pasta (I use @kaizenfoodco, 20g protein and 6 net carbs a serving)Parmesan, chili flakes, basil or parsley
Here is how I made it:
1.Grab an oven safe dish. Add 3 red bell peppers, half a small onion, 1/2 shallot, and 3 garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and 1 tsp sweet paprika, 1/2 tsp oregano or thyme.
2.Pop it into the oven at 400F for 35 mins. When its done, turn off the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes in the oven to soften up further.
3.Add it to a blender with 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 4 tbsp cream, 1/3 cup bone broth, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper.
4.Blend really well until nice and smooth.
5.Cook 1 box of my Kaizen high protein pasta or any pasta according to packaging instructions.
6.Add the pasta sauce to a pan on medium heat, add the cooked and strained pasta, then toss really well.
7.Add in 3 to 4 tbsp freshly grated parmesan, a small dusting of chili flakes, and some fresh basil or Italian parsley.
Serve and enjoy a healthy pasta night that is high protein, light, and so good. You can also add chicken, shrimp, or tofu if you want.
If you make it, let me know on SHREDHAPPENS.
ENJOY!
