Pea Protein Recipes (Pasta! and more)

Yaz · 02-18-2013, 08:36 AM

If you google "Pea Protein Recipes PDF" a site should come up that is "absolute organix" a company in New Zealand? They have a PDF on their site with a bunch of Pea Protein Recipes.

I made the pasta a few months ago. It was okay but it definitely needs some tweaking for my taste. I sliced the noodles into really small slivers and they grew and grew and grew! Seriously they were almost and inch wide!

I found that one serving was way too much for me, I could have easily made this into 3. I did freeze the other half of the dough but I haven't tried thawing it yet to see if it will turn out okay after being frozen.

PROTEIN PASTA (Makes 8.8 ounces/two servings)

One cup plus one teaspoon Pea Protein Powder (Plus some for dusting)
Three large eggs
¼ teaspoon olive oil - I needed to add a bit more

Instructions:

Mix all ingredients with a fork until well blended.
Knead together for 2-3 minutes.
Wrap dough in plastic and allow to sit for 30 minutes at room temp.
Remove dough from plastic and roll out to about the thickness of a dime.
Cut into shape using a sharp knife or cookie
cutter. Dust with pea protein as required.
Place cut pasta on a lint free paper towel for 15-20 minutes to dry.
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil.
Add the past and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally so the
noodles don't stick together.
Add your favorite spices and sauce.

Serve and enjoy.

No it wasn't similar at all. It was very soft. I think the next time I try it I'll pan fry it after boiling to crisp it up a bit.

Thanks for the info Yaz.
I have that link and the cracker recipe sounds pretty good to me.

Unfortunately, I haven't done much experimenting yet, but i'm planning on it.
I would love to hear results if anyone makes any of the recipes.

Thanks for letting me know I may hold off on buying the pea protein for now then...I don't really miss pasta, just thought it would be a fun experiment.

With the noodles being soft, were they more like a gnocchi? How was the taste?

I have plant fusion protein powder, but unfortunately it is vanilla. Don't know if I would experiment anyway, since it is very expensive. It is not disgustingly sweet, and extremely smooth, which is why I like it. If there were a good recipe though, I would buy the unsweetened.
