Ingredients
8 ounces pasta
1 cup milk
1 scoop Nutraflav Unflavored Pea Protein Powder
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
How to Make It
Cook the pasta according to the package directions and reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium low heat and add the garlic. Cook for about one minute until fragrant. Whisk the milk and Nutraflav Unflavored Pea Protein Powder together in a bowl until smooth, then slowly add the mixture to the saucepan. Stir in the Parmesan and Italian seasoning and cook over low heat until the sauce is creamy. Add a little reserved pasta water if needed to reach your favorite consistency. Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce and season with salt and pepper before serving.
Make It Your Own
Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or your favorite vegetables to turn this into a complete meal. Fresh parsley or a little extra Parmesan on top also makes it extra delicious!
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Add a splash of milk when reheating to help bring the creamy texture back.
