AminoPasta with Cream of Peppers and Almonds

Ingredients (for 2 people)

• 200g of AminoPasta (red lentils and brown rice)
• 2 red peppers
• 30 g of peeled almonds
• 1 clove of garlic
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (for a hint of cheesy flavor)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Procedure

1. Prepare the cream : Roast the peppers in the oven at 200°C for about 20-25 minutes until the skin is charred. Let them cool, then remove the skin and seeds.
2. Blend the dressing : In a blender, combine the peeled peppers, almonds, garlic, nutritional yeast, paprika, oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
3. Cook the pasta : boil AminoPasta in plenty of boiling salted water for the time indicated on the package over low heat.
4. Bring it all together : Drain the pasta and toss it with the pepper and almond cream. If necessary, add a little of the cooking water to make the sauce creamier.
5. Serve : Plate and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a drizzle of raw olive oil.

Why is it balanced?

• Complete Protein : AminoPasta provides a combination of high-quality plant-based proteins thanks to the union of red lentils and brown rice.
• Healthy fats : Almonds and extra virgin olive oil provide beneficial fatty acids for the body.
• Vitamins and minerals : Peppers are rich in vitamin C, which aids in the absorption of iron contained in lentils.
• Intense, natural flavor : smoked paprika and nutritional yeast provide a rich flavor without the need for animal-based ingredients.
