How to Cook Protein Pasta Spirals with Betroot
You may know that our lupin protein pasta is different and better than other pasta varieties, but it needs a little tender, love and care when preparing your meal. Due to the lack of gluten, which helps bind ingredients together, and its high protein content, we recommend the following steps:
- Add the pasta to your sauce just before the sauce is ready, about 2-3 minutes max.
- Add a little extra water to prevent the meal from burning as the pasta is dry and will absorb about half its weight in water.
- Let the sauce cook the pasta by simmering it in the pot and gently stirring occasionally.
- Spoon or pour the fully cooked pasta on a plate.
- Top with parmesan cheese or desired garnishes.
- Enjoy your delicious Lupin pasta dish.
Benefits of Folate
Folate, also known as vitamin B9, is an essential nutrient that plays many important roles in the body, such as:
1. Metabolism: Folate is a nutrient that can aid the body in turning carbohydrates into glucose, which is our main source of energy. This process can help promote sustained energy levels, making you feel more alert and focused throughout the day.
2. Red Blood Cells: When we don’t have enough healthy red blood cells, it can lead to feelings of fatigue and weakness. Folate helps the body make and maintain healthy red blood cells, potentially improving the ability to carry oxygen throughout our bodies which can result in better energy levels and overall health.
3. Growth: Studies show that folate is essential for the production and maintenance of new cells, making it particularly important during periods of growth and development, such as in women during pregnancy.
Including folate in our diet can lead to many health benefits due to its roles in cell growth and maintenance, carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, and red blood cell production.
