I found this pasta incredibly filling and I was able to stay full thanks to the protein and fiber. The protein in this mac and cheese comes from the chickpea pasta and nutritional yeast. Plant-based protein вЂ“ for 1/12 of this dish there is 16g of protein! ThatвЂ™s pretty amazing for a small portion of pasta. Just 1/4 cup has 9 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber! Plus, most nutritional yeast on the market today is fortified which helps ensure youвЂ™re getting even more nutrients in such a small amount. Nutritional yeast is a complete plant-based protein, a good source of fiber and B vitamins вЂ“ especially B6, B12 and folate. This is an ingredient I could write an entire blog post about, but IвЂ™ll keep it short today.
