How to Cook Protein Pasta for Best Results
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.

My husband made this with chicken, green beans and carbonara sauce. I was a bit skeptical about how it would taste. It doesn’t taste exactly like ‘normal’ pasta but add a bit of olive oil and it’s delicious! Great for gluten free and low carb eating. I’m also T1 diabetic so am so happy to use this alternative.
Good work, Lupinologists!

Hi Peter – we do recommend a 50gm serve and with any very high fibre plant proteins, flatulence can be a consequence of eating a little too much, too soon. Our recommended serving size of 50gm is planned so that consumers can gradually increase the amount of fibre in their meals. A gradual increase well past the 50gm of pasta is a very positive outcome and this may take 8-10 days of gradual increase. One of the other benefits is that the fibre in our pasta (38% dietary fibre) will help regularity as you seem to have experienced. Your use of the flour would likely be in much smaller percentages hence the likely reason why you have not experienced this before. A gently reminder that the pasta is 40% protein, almost no carbs and lots of fibre – perhaps adjust your meal make-up slowly to adopt this gently, alternative protein meal. Do let us know if you persist with the pasta and how that all goes, next time. All the best – David
