Cauliflower Pasta with Pesto
Looking for a quick dish that provides a good balance of carbohydrates, protein, and calcium? This is my go to when I crave pasta, but don't want an over abundance of carbs. I love using this veggie based pasta by Veggiecraft that has only 3 ingredients (cauliflower flour, lentil flour, pea flour) and tastes great as well. My topping of choice is a pesto and I always keep some prepared pesto on hand. I used Gotham Greens Vegan Pesto, but if you are eating cheese they make that as well.
