New High Protein Pastas and Sauce Tips

Here you will learn some hints to cook our new high protein pastas and sauces.

The fusilli and orzo cook best on the stove top!
They come in really neat "boil in a bag" bags. I like to prepare a few at a time for convenience.
Make sure you boil them in salted water for a solid 10 minutes.
When the pasta is cooked, I open the bags and put them into individual serving size bowls with lids.
For the sauce, using the pasta water add 3 tablespoons and one sauce packet into a separate small bowl. (If cooking more than one serving, I use multiple small bowls and sauce packets.)
Now, slowly add small amounts of sauce into the pasta bowl until it is flavored to your preference. Some people like a strong flavor and others prefer a more subtle one. It is easy to add more flavor, but if you dump the whole sauce bowl in and it is too strong, it's hard to take it out!
Lastly, add in cooked non-starchy vegetables to the mix. I like to slice and saute mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini, and shallots.
Enjoy!
