Low Carb/High Protein Pasta (Vegan, Gluten-Free)
Lose weight and eat comfort food!
That's right! You don't have to suffer to be beautiful. Stop at the first step for chick pea polenta or follow through to make pasta. You can also cut this dough into squares, instead of strips, and fry it to make panelle; which is a staple food that originated in Palermo Italy. Take two pieces of panelle and make a sandwich with it. It's so good in any shape you choose to make it. Eat it naked or dress it up with tomato or pesto sauce. Everybody's an honorary Italian in the Global Villa tonight! Benvenuti!
