Chickpea Fusilli

May 30, 2019

Now that people are avoiding red meat and other animal products many are low in precious B vitamins which play important roles in energy production and food metabolism. Vitamin B12 is only present in animal products so if you do avoid red meat you can still obtain through poultry, eggs and dairy.

The body doesn’t store B vitamins well and the need increases with stress, as well as if you smoke, use alcohol or drugs, or make poor lifestyle choices (aka stress), etc.

This recipe is so quick and easy there is no excuse not to make it! The chickpea pasta is higher in protein, iron, and fiber than regular pasta and the nutritional yeast contains a hefty dose of B vitamins. Pair this with a good quality tomato sauce and throw in a little garlic for an anti-inflammatory boost to create a delicious and nutritious meal.
