We refuse to lie to you. This is a different pasta recipe. This is not creamy walnut pesto pasta, or spaghetti with roasted summer vegetables or even vegan pasta Bolognese. This is vegan spaghetti with Brussels sprouts.
Like, seriously Brussels sprouts? What have we become?
Next thing you know we'll be buying chia seeds from the organic store. Oh, yeah we did that yesterday. Seriously what has gotten into us this year? Some curious health freak? Damn.
The worst thing is we can’t deny that this pasta is actually good.
It’s different because it’s “cabbage-y” to us, but in a good way – we love it. It’s spicy, tasty, makes us feel like we're home again and actually makes us wanna eat more.
We are scared. We see chopped Brussels sprouts.
We were sitting in the corner under a cover like the kid from The Sixth Sense just to type that.
And we said it out loud and got goosebumps. So how is your day?
HEALTH AND BEAUTY BENEFITS
While it’s a little different from our other pasta recipes – this pasta kinda is the same. Healthwise.
Like all of our other pasta babies it’s good for your skin and your health, because it’s fiber and antioxidant-loaded, but also like the name says it it’s quite heavy on the cruciferous side.
We have never eaten that many Brussels sprouts in our life! And we're not lying. Up until last month we always hated on them. Until we made the Quinoa and Brussels sprouts health monster.
Brussels sprouts have a lot of benefits that we regret missing out on all these years.
The two major ones are that they support the liver at detoxification and protect against cancer.
So if you’re like us a month ago and hate their guts, but they’re on sale right now and you’re curious what happened to Benjamin Button and whether or not you can make Brussels sprouts work for you – try and make this pasta.
We think it will change your mind and your life.
