Today, you can buy pasta made of 100% legumes flour. It is a great way to eat legumes and to cut in wheat carbs while still enjoying a nice plate of pasta.
Legumes are rich in fibers, proteins and other important nutrients.
I made this pasta with some nice curry sauce leftover from another recipe.
The result was really nice!
You can make it with any kind of legumes pasta.
