Protein Pasta – If you are more carb conscience than calorie conscience, Banza Protein Pasta is a better choice for you. It’s made with chickpeas and is packed with plant based protein.
Add Protein – I like to make my low calorie meatballs or Italian turkey sausage in the homemade marinara sauce (just add in and the sauce does all the cooking!) then I chop them up and add to the pasta dish below to boost protein. You can also add in diced chicken if you have some cooked and ready. It gives this recipe a chicken parm flavor.
Add Veggies – the sauce is homemade and veggie packed. But you could easily add more veggies! I recommend adding zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes or mushrooms. Just dice them up and add to the pasta with the first cup of marinara sauce. Then bake in the dish for a veggie packed pasta.
Gluten-Free Swap – use your favorite gluten-free pasta, or Banza Chickpea Protein Pasta.
Vegan Swap – the pasta and sauce are already vegan, just choose vegan cheese shreds for the topping.
