I was so thrilled when the Al Dente Pasta company sent me three bags of their bona chia pastas that are made with….wait for it….CHIA!  Isn’t that amazing?  You know how much I LOVE chia and now they’ve made pasta with it?  GENUIS!  Chia is an amazing seed that is packed with antioxidants and fiber.  Each serving has 4 grams of heart healthy fiber and 7 grams of protein.   And it only took 3 minutes to cook!  What else can you ask for? ๐Ÿ™‚

I used the bona chia fettucine for the recipe below.  It came out FANTASTIC!  It was a hit with the whole family!

Do you like what you see?  You can win this 3 pack of bona chia pastas too!  Please follow these instructions to enter: GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED!

  1. Must go to my Facebook page and “like” me  here 
  2. Must go to Al Dente Pasta and “like” them here.  Let them know I sent you ๐Ÿ™‚
  3. Comment on this blog and my Facebook page and tell me why you would like to try bona chia pasta!

One lucky winner will be picked by random on Friday July 6 at 12:00 am EST.  Must be U.S. resident.

Ok, now it’s time to share my YUMMY, VEGAN recipe!

Sundried Tomato Artichoke Arugula Chia Pasta with White Beans

Ingredients

1 bag bona chia pasta

2 cups of vegetable broth (you can also use chicken if you’d like but it wouldn’t be vegan)

2 cups chopped mushrooms

1 cup sliced sundried tomatoes (I used tomatoes NOT in oil)

1 can of artichoke hearts (or frozen) throughly rinsed and drained

3 cups of arugula ( I like A LOT of arugula ๐Ÿ™‚ )

1 can small white beans, rinsed thoroughly and drained

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 Tablespoon grapeseed oil

Instructions

1.  Place oil and garlic in saute pan and let simmer for 1-2 minutes until it softens.

2.  Add sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, artichokes and beans and let simmer for 3-4 minutes until they soften.

3.  Add broth and let simmer for a few minutes.  Add arugula at the end.  Mix and remove from heat.  (You do not want the arugula to get too soft)

4.  Cook bona chia pasta according to instructions (Note, this pasta only take 3 minutes to make!!)

5.  Drain pasta and mix with broth and veggie mixture.  Top with shaved parmesan if you’d like (again, it’s not vegan then)

So if you’d like to try these AMAZING bona chia pastas!  Thanks again Al Dente Pasta ๐Ÿ™‚

    I would really love to try this product. As I am only one day one of your JUMP START, I am already missing my pasta. Pasta is a staple in our house. I loved it even more the next day fried up in butter.

    I would love to try this to help me eliminate the bad pasta I have been consuming. Do you have any other alternative products you could recommend?

      Good luck April! Quinoa is a great alternative to pasta. I have tons of quinoa recipes on my page. You can also make it like you would any pasta dish ๐Ÿ™‚

    After seeing this on your FB page, I went to the local Lowe’s Foods, they only have the traditional al dente pastas, are not stocking the chia. We are going to Italy with a large group of friends and I would love to cook this for them before our trip!!

    I already like you on facebook, but I “liked” the Al Dente page as well. I’m really looking forward to finding these. I’m trying to live a new lifestyle of clean eating, but I really miss pasta. I live in a small town, so don’t hold out much hope in finding any here, but next time I head to the city, I’ll be looking! (BTW…really enjoy your emails. Glad I subscribed!)

    I still have not tried Chia, but I finally found it at my grocery store:-) The pasta sounds fantastic…..would it be bad to throw some yummy Alfredo sauce over it, LOL! I love your recipe, it sounds so hearty and delicious:-) Hugs, Terra

    I would love to try this pasta as I am always looking for new dinner ideas for the entire family to enjoy. With my daughter’s food allergies, this isn’t always easy. But this is something that we could all have and I do believe it would be DELICIOUS!!
