Mmmm comfort food at its finest. I love using chickpea pasta and other bean pastas. They’re super high in protein, fiber, iron, and resistant starch to really help feed your good gut bacteria- helping not only your digestion and blood sugar levels, but also your immunity and mood! Lots of nerves in the gut- feed it well!
Serves about 8:
- 1 cauliflower, rough chop into large florets
- 1 yellow onion, discard outer layer and chop into quarters
- 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 avocado
- 1 boiled sweet potato (skin removed)
- 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
- 1-2 garlic cloves
- Juice of 1/4 – 1/2 lemon
- 16 oz dry elbow macaroni pasta (I like using banza chickpea pasta)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Steam onion and cauliflower until soft and translucent (about 15 minutes)
- Combine steamed vegetables with salt, pepper, avocado, potato, and nutritional yeast in a food processor S blade or high speed blender and blend until smooth
- Boil macaroni according to manufacture’s instructions and mix with peas. Pour sauce over macaroni and peas and mix well. Transfer to casserole dish for serving
