      Let’s look at the main ingredients: 

      • Bell peppers
      • Onion
      • Zucchini
      • Carrots
      • Tomatoes
      • Garlic 
      • Olive oil 
      • Coconut milk 
      • Pasta

      The vegetables are all natural, nutritious food sources. Each have their own health benefits and can be used to add vitamins, nutrients, fiber, and flavor to a wide variety of recipes like meal prep salad jars and chipotle chicken stew

      Sugar is what makes food unhealthy.

      Common pasta is made from white flour (refined grains) which means pasta is nearly equivalent to sugar.

      Add 240g of sugar (40g/serving) to this Hidden Veggie Pasta and you’re looking at heartburn with an energy crash. (And you’ll be scouring the pantry for your next sugar snack within the hour.) 

      Substitute common pasta with a low-carb noodle alternative, and this recipe becomes nourishment. The ingredients provide vitamins, minerals, protein and quality, whole-food energy.

      Hidden Veggie Pasta Tips

      1. Add protein

      Make this hidden veggie pasta extra filling by pairing it with protein like pesto chicken, ground turkey, ground beef, a low-carb noodle, or your favorite meat alternative. 

      2. Meal prep 

      Make a big batch of the pasta sauce, and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Or, place it in the freezer for up to 6 months. When you’re ready to eat, let it thaw in the fridge overnight. Then, warm it in the microwave or in a saucepan over medium heat. Add an extra splash of coconut milk or broth as needed to freshen it back up, and toss it with freshly cooked noodles

      3. Include toppings. 

      You can never have too much flavor! Top off your pasta with a sprinkle of feta or parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, or even pine nuts. Remember to look for pasture-raised cheeses.

      4. Pair your pasta with a side. 

      Make this hidden veggie pasta even more filling and fit for a crowd by pairing it with a side or two like a fresh salad or our low carb dinner rolls

      5. Have leftover coconut milk? 

      Don’t toss it out! Instead, use it to make healthy avocado pesto for an easy, nutritious way to add flavor to all your meals throughout the week.
