Veggie Gardein Pasta Shells

After been cooking for several years and going vegan, I have been making some really delicious meals. A lot of the meals lately, I just create as I go and they turn out super delicious.

I had posted some images of my meals using Banza Pasta on Instagram and tagged Banza in it, and they said that they would love to see recipes with their product. This motivated me to come up with some really nice ideas and create recipes with some of their products.

This is one of my favourite meals I have created using their pasta and I hope you enjoy it too.

Ingredients

  • 1 box of Banza Chickpea Pasta, shells

  • 1 bag Gardein Chicken Strips

  • 1 jar of pasta sauce, Vitacost

  • 12 oz mushrooms

  • 1 tbsp oregano

  • 1 tbsp thyme

  • 1 Franks Red Hot sauce

  • 1/4 cup of Pinot Grigio

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

1 Start a pot of boiling water and add a splash of salt.
2 While pot is warming up, wash the mushrooms and slice them in half.
3 Heat up a saute pan with coconut oil and add mushrooms.
4 When pot begins to boil add in the pasta. Continue to saute the mushrooms and add oregano and thyme.
5 Cut the chicken in half to make it appear you have more and toss in saute pan.
6 Once the mushrooms and chicken are almost done cooking add in the wine and cook for a few seconds and then add in the arugula and stir.
