Edamame & Mung Bean Rigatoni

I was a little skeptical about pasta made from beans, but the short-cut rigatoni shape is what sold me and it holds sauce way better than I expected. Cooked up firm and chewy, and the brown rice in the blend keeps it from getting that chalky texture some protein pastas have.

The blend of edamame, mung beans, and brown rice gives this rigatoni a hearty, nutty taste that actually holds up to a thick sauce. Cooked it for the suggested time and the texture stayed pleasantly firm, not mushy. I've already added it to my weekly rotation.

Finally, a short-cut pasta that doesn't turn to mush after five minutes in the pot — the rigatoni shape actually holds onto the sauce. I've been looking for a way to get more plant protein in without it tasting like cardboard, and this blend of edamame and mung beans delivers on texture and heft. Co
