We’re not experts, so always do your own research and let us know what you think! 😊
What You Need (For Two People)
If you’re extra hungry, you can easily make this for one person. And if you’re unsure which type of pasta to choose, don’t worry! We’ve got a perfect option for every dosha:
200g pasta (for Vata: spelt, for Pitta: whole grain, for Kapha: buckwheat)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
300g chicken cubes (from a local organic farm or 3-star unprocessed organic meat)
Broth (for extra flavor)
100g cottage cheese
20ml cooking cream (organic)
2 large handfuls of spinach
1 roasted bell pepper
60g sun-dried tomatoes
Herbs & Spices:
Vata & Kapha: oregano, parsley
Pitta: basil, fenugreek, parsley
Kapha: chili
Soaked almonds (Kapha should ideally avoid nuts)
How to Make It
This high-protein pasta recipe is simple and quick to prepare:
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, but add a generous amount of salt or broth for extra flavor.
While the pasta cooks, sauté the chicken cubes in a pan with a little butter, coconut oil, or sesame oil (Vata).
Add a finely chopped garlic clove, tomato paste, and cooking cream to the chicken in the pan.
Meanwhile, roast the bell pepper (in the oven, air fryer, or pan – whichever works for you). Blend the roasted pepper with the cottage cheese to create a creamy sauce.
Pour this creamy mixture over the chicken and stir well until you get a smooth sauce. Add a bit of pasta water if needed for a silkier consistency.
Chop the spinach and add it to the sauce for extra greens. 😋
Season with your chosen herbs – add as much as you like!
Mix the pasta into the sauce and, for some crunch, sprinkle with walnuts. And voilà, your delicious pasta dish is ready! 🍝
