Mung Bean Pasta with fresh lemon and basil

Its funny the way I discovered this pasta, I was struck by the cool packaging then started reading further. And stunned by the nutrition facts, even if this tasted like rubber, I was determined to like it! But to my surprise it actually tasted pretty good! Some people are turned off by the texture but I seem to enjoy it! iv tried the other bean pastas black bean, adzuki bean, etc. Mung bean is my favorite. I found the pasta at wholefoods, but like most things you can order it on amazon!

 

I usually make some sort of tomato sauce to go along with it, but I went for something a little different this time, I will be making this more often! I served it over Cauliflower Mash! I will try to get around to posting that recipe! 🙂
