Ingredients

  • 1 box Banza wheat protein pasta
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
  • 1 cup quick steamed asparagus chopped small
  • 1 shallot finely minced
  • ½ small head radicchio finely sliced
  • ¼ cup chopped Kalamata olives
  • 1 cup fresh dill chopped
  • ½ cup microgreens
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • Burratta

Method

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water (at least 2 tablespoons of kosher salt) to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions - about 12 minutes for protein pasta.
  2. When the pasta is about 2 minutes away from al dente, add the asparagus to the boiling water and cook just until bright green and slightly tender yet still crisp.
  3. Drain the pasta and asparagus.
  4. In a small jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, seasoning, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
  5. Add the cooled pasta, peas, asparagus, shallot, radicchio, micro greens, olives, dill, and lemon zest to a large bowl. Pour over the dressing and toss until evenly coated.
  6. Transfer to a serving platter or bowl. Tear the burrata over the top and finish with extra dill, lemon zest, cracked pepper.
