Here is a great way to add legumes to the menu! In addition, this recipe is gluten-free and therefore suitable for an anti-inflammatory diet. Moreover, chickpea pasta has a significantly lower glycemic load than pasta made with white flour.
Ideal for dinner
I developed this recipe following a nutrition consultation with one of my patients: a big pasta eater, but with an intestinal barrier that was not in very good shape. So I suggest a low-gluten diet during the month where we repair his intestinal barrier with supplements.
Pulses were not part of his diet at all. Remember that the PNNS recommendations recommend consuming legumes at least twice a week. By offering him this recipe, I am offering him a gentle food rebalancing: I leave him his pasta, but in another form / taste. A little skeptical at first, he was delighted with this discovery! It is obviously better to consume legumes in their natural form, in particular to preserve their high fiber content. But it's a good compromise for the therapeutic adherence of his patient ;-)
