Craving a high-protein vegan pasta that bursts with flavor? This recipe featuring lentil pasta, sun-dried tomatoes, and artichoke hearts is a total winner. Lentil pasta packs a punch with protein and fiber, making it a hearty and healthy base. The sun-dried tomatoes add a tangy, savory kick, while the artichoke hearts bring a tender, slightly nutty richness that ties the whole dish together.
The best part is this can be made in under 20 minutes and is a one-pot recipe with no dishes to do after! This is also a Trader Joe’s recipe – all of the ingredients can be purchased at Trader Joe’s. No Trader Joe’s, no problem - every ingredient is common and easy to find.
This easy vegan meal is super simple to whip up and is also loaded with nutrients, making it perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a satisfying lunch.
Ingredients
6 ounces lentil pasta - you can also substitute another high-protein pasta like chickpea pasta
1/2 of an 8.5-ounce jar of sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil and spices
1 14-ounce can artichoke hearts
1 tablespoon plant-based butter
Vegan parmesan cheese for garnish – I used Trader Joe’s Vegan Parmesan for this recipe but my Homemade Vegan Parmesan works great in this recipe too.
Instructions
Add about 6 ounces or 1/2 a bag of pasta to boiling salted water.
Add in a dash of cooking oil - this will prevent the pasta from boiling over.
Cook according to package directions - be careful to not overcook this pasta or it will become mushy! Generally it takes 5-6 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, drain the sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts and cut into small pieces.
Drain the cooked pasta.
Add 1 tablespoon of plant-based butter to the pot you cooked the pasta in.
Add in the sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts and then add a dash of salt. You can also add garlic powder if you want or any other spices!
Add the pasta to your pot and combine very well - salt or spice to taste.
Garnish with vegan parmesan cheese – Enjoy!
