I don’t talk about this often on this blog of mine, but, during my late teen years, I battled anorexia nervosa. Those were years I’m not proud of. Those were years that were consumed with deceiving my parents as to what I ate – while I plotted how to eliminate 4 food groups out of my diet and exist on fruit alone. As my weight dropped, so did my grades and energy levels.
I am in my forties now, and with time and help, I did make a slow, hard recovery.
I am so grateful to be able to say that I have lived and learned….
These days, I feel best when I manage to incorporate a variety of vegetables and legumes, fruits, nuts, and lean meats into my diet. These days, I can truly enjoy a plate of pasta – occasionally.
Or should I say, I used to enjoy a plate of pasta occasionally – until I ran into Modern Table® Gluten-free, Complete Plant-Protein Pastas! Modern Table® pastas are delicious and help me fuel and feed my body.
I like to enjoy my pasta with a hefty dose of veggies and beans (like in today’s Creamy Curry Pasta and this Pumpkin Pasta) instead of heavy creams and rich sauces. So, it’s a bonus when the pasta I’m using is not only made with lentils, but it is considered a Complete Plant-Protein as well.
My inner nutrition-geek found out from Google University that a complete protein is one that contains 9 essential amino acids such as histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. These 9 essential amino acids are the building blocks our bodies need for lasting energy, muscle health and good digestion.

Now back to this Creamy Curry Pasta…
My daughter and I love curry, so, instead of a rich sauce, I figured I would put a spicy, curry-spin on pasta and make a fusion curry with veggies, chickpeas, coconut milk, spices and Modern Table® Elbows.
This recipe is super easy to pull together and incredibly gentle on your wallet as well. Aromatically flavored with curry powder, coriander, smoked paprika, onions, ginger and garlic, this Creamy Curry Pasta would be a quick, delicious, easy and nutritious addition to your dinner plans.
