Quick Cook Pasta Agile

High in protein, potassium, gluten free and a source of iron, the New @zenb_uk Pasta Agile is a genius new, 100% yellow pea pasta which can be cooked in 2 minutes! This pasta has a delicious flavour, which maintains a gorgeous al dente texture once added to any sauce of choice. Once again, I've been working with the incredible @zenb_uk, they have challenged me to elevate one of my favourite pasta dishes, pasta bake, by adding more creativity and flavour with the time I've saved when cooking the pasta. I chose to make the classic sausage and pasta bake but elevate it to the next level. ZENB Pasta Agile is made from 100% yellow peas, meaning it's gluten free, high in protein, high in fibre and due to its unique new shape, allows the sauce to coat the pasta and maintains its tasty al dente texture.
