Elbows deep in Protein goodness

Omg. This one really inspired me to create the most Unhinged dish. It turned out amazingly. You can add so much more things to really build on the already 17g of protein. Plant-based greatness.

Tastes Great!

Not gonna lie, I love my pasta! 🍝

Thanks to Catelli and Butterly for providing me with Catelli's Protein+ pasta for free in exchange for my honest review. I received 3 boxes of the Protein pasta in spaghetti, elbows, and penne.

About this pasta:

🍝 Enjoy the classic pasta taste you love & 17g of protein per serving with Catelli PROTEIN+ (approx. 1/4 of the pack, 85 g)
🍝 Crafted from high-quality durum wheat flour, & plant-based protein from chickpeas, lentils, & peas, it guarantees a delicious pasta taste and texture
🍝 Certified vegan & Non-GMO project verified

My thoughts:
Yum, so good! I love pasta, so I was quite curious about the added protein!

I chose to make spaghetti with a chicken meat sauce. I wasn't sure how the noodles were going to taste because normally food with added protein, also has a chalky taste that goes along with it. I was very much pleased with the taste and texture of this pasta. It cooked up nicely and was very pleasant. I thought I might feel more full after eating the pasta, but thankfully, I felt rather light afterwards.

As a person that struggles to get enough protein in their diet, I really like this concept. I think it's great that they offer different pasta styles, so that you can make many different types of meals with it. I can see myself adding this pasta to my pantry on a regular basis. Thank you very much, Catelli, for introducing me to your Protein+ Pasta! ♥️

A Delicious Way To Add Protein To Your Pasta Meal

I received this pasta from Butterly and Catelli for free in exchange for an honest review, and I loved it! The texture is a bit different, it’s more dense, but I honestly enjoy it more this way. If you cook it longer, it becomes softer, but not soggy and they don’t fall apart!
The taste is amazing, it’s different (you can tell they’re not the same as traditional/classical pasta), but again, I prefer this taste. The best part for me was not feeling heavy after eating it. Usually, when I eat foods made of dough, I don’t feel very well and get bloated, but not in this case, so I know the ingredients work well for me! Enjoy delicious meal with this pasta!

Traditional mac and cheese with protein

My kids love spaghetti, just simply noodles with a little butter and Parmesan cheese powder. These were easy to cook. And it's not like your traditional pasta brands. 8 mins and it's actually cooked! The texture and taste is just like traditional pasta, but with added protein - win!

Pasta with extra protein - same delicious taste

Not many of you know this but I’m a nutritionist and despite being a complete foodie, I love making smart food swaps without making concessions on the taste.

I have a high school teenager who has long days at school followed by rehearsals for something or the other so I need to have something on hand that she or I can whip up in a jiffy that satisfies her taste buds and is also packed with great, healthy nutrients! She loves her pasta and Catelli (which I always have at home) just made my life even easier by reinforcing their pasta with added protein - perfect to support her growth!

The Catelli Protein+ line has 17g of plant-based protein per serving (from chickpeas, lentils & peas) and it’s a total game-changer. No weird texture, no odd aftertaste—just classic, comforting pasta that tastes like the real deal.

It comes in three shapes - penne rigate (my daughter’s pick!), elbows, and spaghetti - and just needs 9 minutes to cook to al dente. Perfect for busy days when she comes home exhausted and starving after a long school day and all she wants is a quick, feel-good comfort meal that fuels her so she can get one with her assignments.

Bonus? It’s Non-GMO, Certified Vegan, and made by a brand that’s been a trusted kitchen staple in Canadian homes for years. You can find Catelli Protein+ in most major grocery stores—and trust me, it’s worth trying.

What cooked in 6 mins? YES

My son’s favourite way to have pasta is with pesto and this pasta is such great option as there is 17g plant based protein in each serving. It taste just like classic pasta and I love how it cooks in six minutes for a super busy weekday and night dinner.

Protein packed

My son is really picky about his Mac and cheese, I made this and he didn't know the difference. Also great as I'm looking to eat more protein and this was an easy substitute
