Hey Y’all I love to cook with lentil pasta and black bean pasta. However it wasn’t until I got pregnant recently and re-consumed some basic nutrition information that I realized none of my recipes with this pasta make it a complete protein.

I usually buy the Barilla or Aldi’s brands of the pasta but they’re virtually all the same, even the off-brand boxes. Most just have one ingredient and its red lentil flour or black bean flour or even chickpea flour.

With how much potential protein is in these portion sizes I think it’s a waste to not try to complete them in a meal. Can anyone suggest a good recipe or how they incorporate the lentil pasta into their meal prep?

PS: I have found one brand that does red lentil flour and rice flour which I’m hoping complete the protein on its own.
