  • By the time the water should be boiling. Put the pasta in boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes. Immediately drain and separate into 4 equal servings. Top each with a quarter of the tomatoes artichoke sauce. Sprinkle with a bit more parmesan and parsley.

Notes

  • Protein (edamame) pasta is NOT pasta. Don't expect it to be like traditional spaghetti. It has a completely different texture. Have fun with it and don't overcook!
  • You can, of course, use the "sauce" part of this recipe on traditional pasta. The nutritional profile would change of course. There would be less protein and more carbs.
