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.

Well, Modern Table® Plant-Protein Pasta is vegan, Non-GMO Project Verified and Certified Gluten-Free and is made with 3 simple ingredients such as lentils, rice and peas. Modern Table® Plant-Protein Pasta has a low glycemic index and does not contain any binders or fillers.

Modern Eating is about finding a new way – a better way – to create new habits and sustain them. It means we need to look inside to see what really matters to us – whether it be whole body health, clean eating, or animal welfare – and make it a way of living. We created Modern Table® because we believe that the foods we love to eat can also be the foods we want to eat.

Modern Table® pasta can be found at these stores, in:
• Modern Table® Penne
• Modern Table® Rotini
• Modern Table® Elbows
• Modern Table® Spirals

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. 

I love uniting curry and pasta – if you are looking for another curry pasta version, then please do check out these curry noodles.
