Would you believe this creamy, comforting plant based pasta is packed with protein too? 🍝💪

No cream. No butter. No guilt.
Just roasted veggies + tofu → one magical, protein-rich pasta bowl. 🪄

And here’s the best part ⬇️
👉 Your whole batch of roasted veg pasta has about 41–43g protein.
👉 If you divide it into 2 servings → ~20–21g protein per serving.
👉 If you divide it into 3 servings → ~14g protein per serving.
