Pasta Lensi Chickpea Casarecce Pasta

Unlike other legume pastas, Pasta Lensi legume pasta is made with only one ingredient – chickpeas! The pasta contains at least 22 grams of plant-based protein per 3.5 ounce serving. It’s non-GMO and available at many major grocery stores including Walmart, Meijers, Shop Rite and more.

Other Ingredients

  • Brussels Sprouts – Quarter the sprouts to help create the best texture and flavor.
  • Butternut Squash – Cube the squash into bite-sized pieces to ensure it cooks evenly.
  • Kale: Curly or Tuscan Kale (Lacinato) are best for this recipe.
  • Olive Oil: You can substitute with avocado oil when roasting the vegetables, if desired.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is best. You can use dairy-free Parmesan cheese, if desired.
  • Optional: Add a pinch of Cayenne or ground Nutmeg while roasting for additional flavor.

  • Sprinkle the butternut squash with a pinch of nutmeg and/or ground cayenne pepper prior to baking for more flavor.
  • When cooking the pasta, follow the package instructions.
  • Add salt to the pot of water for the best flavor.
