February is the month of the “healthy challenges”! A lot of people in the last few years started this tradition of challenging themself on February with a healthier lifestyle and reducing meat consumption is part of the plan for many.

So here are 2 amazing vegan recipes for all of you willing to try some vegan food.

Pindemont´s Pasta & beans

A dish of the poor Italian tradition, recently found out again by many restaurants. This vegan dish is perfect for those who are enemies of green veggies. The beans are a source of proteins (meat substitute), but also offer fiber, calcium and potassium. The pasta and potato are a bomb of carbohydrates.

This recipe is a translation from a traditional cooking book.

Ingredient: beans*, pasta **, potatoes, rosemary, bay leaves, minced onion-carrot-celery, parmesan, salt, pepper and oil.

* The Piedmontese tradition uses “borlotti” beans, in other areas you find different varieties. Choose what you like more!
** There are many variations from short pasta to long format.

  • The preparation starts the night before if you use dry beans, as they need to be soaked overnight. In a big frying-pan warm up oil and fry minced onion, carrots and celery for 5 minutes
  • Add cubed potatoes and fry them for couple of minutes
  • Add beans and cover with water.
  • Add also salt, bay leaf and rosemary → this herbs are the secret of the amazing flavor
  • Cook for couple of hours, making sure there is always enough water, until beans are soft
  • 10-15 minutes before serving add the pasta (depending on the pasta cooking time and your liking).
  • Serve topped with grated parmesan, olive oil and a few leaves of rosemary for decoration.
  • Try to add also Microgreens on top and transport a poor dish in a fashion plate ready for instagram!
