FEATURED IN RECIPE
ZENB Pasta Variety
We took the viral brown butter and cinnamon pasta recipe and zhooshed it (call us extra, we'll own it!). Ready in under 30 minutes and made with ZENB Rotini, this sweet and savory dish is an excellent source of fiber and a good source of protein.
INGREDIENTS
- 12 ounces ZENB Yellow Pea Rotini Pasta, uncooked
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons chopped toasted hazelnuts
- 2 tablespoons chopped dried cranberries
- 1 lemon, zested
- 2 1/2 teaspoons olive oil infused with basil
INSTRUCTIONS
1.Cook ZENB Pasta as directed on package. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water; drain.
2.Meanwhile, melt butter in large deep skillet on medium-high heat. Cook 2-5 minutes, swirling pan occasionally, until light golden-brown and nutty. Add pasta, reserved pasta water, sugar, and cinnamon. Cook 1-2 minutes, until sauce is evenly coated.
3.Sprinkle with hazelnuts, cranberries, and lemon zest. Drizzle with olive oil before serving.
Tasty Tips
Substitute coconut sugar, honey, or agave for brown sugar!
Browned butter adds a subtle nutty and rich flavor to both savory and sweet dishes. Use a light color skillet, when browning to easily see when the butter is toasted. When the butter is golden-brown and aromatic it is ready to use.
Substitute plain olive oil or other flavor-infused olive oil.
