What is Lentil flour fusilli?
Lentil flour fusilli is a legume-based pasta made with lentil flour and shaped into the familiar spirals that catch sauce. It offers an alternative to conventional wheat pasta, with a mild earthy, bean-like flavour and a pleasantly substantial bite when cooked al dente. Keep an eye on the cooking time: like other legume pastas, it can soften quickly if left in the pot.
Serve it with tomato sauce, roasted vegetables or olive oil and herbs; it also works well in a cold pasta salad. It stands out for its protein and fibre, with 25 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter, balanced bowl, add plenty of vegetables and use just enough sauce to coat the spirals.
