Bean Based Pasta – Explore Asian Edamame Spaghetti

The power was out all morning and afternoon today, so I was ready for a hot dinner.I finally made an edamame spaghetti that I ordered awhile ago and it was pretty good! It was a bit more firm than regular pasta, but it was good with a sauce, and I think it would be great in a soup.

Per serving: 11 g fiber and 24 g protein! Ingredients: edamame, water.

The brand is Explore Asian, they have other options as well, such as black bean pasta, but this one seemed the most neutral in taste.


I served this with a mushroom and soy crumble stroganoff (made with veggie stock, tomato paste, paprika, silk and non-dairy sour cream). 


It was very tasty and certainly relatively nutritious comfort food, but it is a bit more soy at one sitting than I would like. I plan to try a chickpea pasta available on Amazon, which sounds great. Red lentil pastas are also available, and that would likely be a neutral taste as well. Another option to cut down on the soy would be to just use a different sauce. The pasta already has enough protein for a meal, but I was interested to see if I could make a vegan stroganoff and this one passed the test.
