The Best High Protein Pasta
  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).

  2. Start by roasting your veggies. In a baking dish, toss the chopped red bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, the whole garlic head (with the top cut off and some olive oil and a pinch of salt) and quartered onions with olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Roast for 30–40 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly caramelized.

  3. Allow the roasted vegetables to cool then squeeze out the garlic cloves, add the roasted vegetables to a blender with fresh basil, ricotta, and vegetable broth. Blend until smooth, adjusting the broth to achieve your desired consistency.

  4. Cook the pasta until al dente, according to package instructions. Rinse, drain, and set aside.

  5. Heat the blended sauce in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cooked pasta to the pan and stir to coat it evenly with the sauce. Warm through for 2–3 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped basil and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
