I am excited for recipes I am sharing this week.  This is my 3rd year that I am partnering with Dreamfields for #HealthyPastaMonth. The first year I made an easy Weeknight Lasagna recipe. Ready quickly, a little bit lighter than your traditional lasagna.

Last year I made Blackened Shrimp Pasta. Homemade seasoning mix, juicy shrimp, and a great sauce. This year I am back with 2 recipes!  Today I have a mussels and pasta recipe for you! Stay tuned on Friday for another delicious and easy pasta recipe

I am a sucker for chicken pasta recipes. There is just something about that them make me happy. And when they are made with Dreamfields pasta, I don’t have to feel nearly as guilty eating them!

Dreamfields has the taste and al dente texture of traditional pasta, yet each one cup cooked serving of pasta has 5 grams of fiber (20% of the daily recommended intake) and 7 grams of plant protein. So you can make something a little creamy and still enjoy it!

Want to know how they get their delicious pasta to be a little better for you? Dreamfields unique recipe contains inulin, a prebiotic fiber sourced from chicory root, which helps promote healthy digestion. Plus they come in all sorts of shapes; Elbows, Penne Rigate, Rigatoni, Angel Hair, Spaghetti, Linguine, and Lasagna. So you can use them in pretty much every pasta recipe you can think of.

This creamy Tuscan chicken pasta uses a handful of simple ingredients like chicken, mushrooms, tomatoes, garlic and half and half. Stuff you can have in your pantry or fridge at all times. So on a busy need night, you can throw this creamy pasta recipe together in no time!

To top off Healthy Pasta Month, Dreamfields has an awesome GIVEAWAY as well!  They are giving away Wusthof 18-piece Gourmet Cutlery Set and a Dreamfields Family Pack.  There are TWO winners, so be sure to head on over and enter!
