I found a new low protein recipe that is so good! We already had it over the weekend but the family is begging for it again so I know what’s for dinner! I found this recipe online so I take no credit for creating it!

1 CUP COOKED LOW PROTEIN PASTA
3 TBS (30 GM) BLACK OLIVES SLICED
2 TBS OLIVE OIL
1 SMALL STALK, 1/2 CUP ( 30 GM) BROCCOLI CUT INTO 1 INCH SIZE FLORETS
1/2 CUP (40 GM) SWEET PEPPER SLICED
1 GARLIC CLOVE CRUSHED
1 SMALL STALK, 1/2 CUP (30 GM) CAULIFLOWER CUT INTO 1 INCH SIZE FLORETS
1/2 CUP CHOPPED TOMATOES
A PINCH OF GROUND BLACK PEPPER
1 CELERY STALK DICED FINE
1 TBS FRESHLY CHOPPED FLAT LEAF PARSLEY
1 TSP BALSAMIC VINEGAR OR WINE VINEGAR
The pasta should be cooked for 6 to 7 minutes, this is a little less time than suggested on the box because it is going to be tossed with hot cooking vegetables at the end. Drain pasta and rinse in water then add 1 tbs of oil to coat the pasta.

Heat the remaining oil in a pan and add all the prepared vegetables except parsley at once. Cook quickly for 4 minutes so the vegetables retain the crunchiness. Add the salt, pepper, parsley and the pasta and cook for 1 more minute to combine all the flavors. Turn off the heat and add the vinegar and combine again. Serve immediately.

This is meant to be 4 servings and has a total of 1.4 grams of protein for each.

That sounds delicious!!  I’m going to have to try that one.  I love pasta and I’ve had to severely cut back my consumption because of the PKU.  I love the vegetables too.  Thanks for the recipe!

I really can’t tell much difference between the low protein pastas and regular pasta especially if they have some kind of sauce to go with them.

This sounds really good Erin and I agree about the low protein pastas with sauce you really can’t tell the difference. I am definitely going to add these ingredients to my grocery list!

This is really a mouthwatering dish. Our family loves to eat broccoli and and cauliflower so we will have a feast with this recipe.

Thanks a lot Erin. Do you still know where you have taken the recipe? They might have some more recipes in that website.

This does sound like a wonderful recipe. Vegetables and pasta, my favorite. Could you all tell me where you buy the low protein pasta? That is something I am missing from my list. I usually eat spaghetti squash in place of pasta.

Martha I got my low protein pasta at Walmart it’s in a small section at our store with the gluten free foods. Henry I can’t remember the name of the website but I found it by typing in low protein recipes on google. If I find it again I will be sure to post the link.

Yum! Sounds tasty. I am going to have to look into the low-protein pasta. I have never had it either. I love pasta too, but can never really have it.
