Ingredient Benefits
🍝 Gluten-Free Pasta
Gluten-free pasta made from brown rice, quinoa, or lentils is rich in complex carbohydrates and fiber, making it easier to digest while keeping energy levels stable. It’s a fantastic base for those who love pasta but prefer a gluten-free Mediterranean lifestyle.
🧄 Garlic
Garlic is a Mediterranean staple, known for its immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. It adds depth and aroma while supporting heart and gut health.
🎃 Pumpkin Purée
Pumpkin brings a naturally creamy texture and a wealth of vitamin A, potassium, and antioxidants. It supports eye health, strengthens immunity, and adds a subtle sweetness to balance the savory flavors.
🌰 Nutmeg
A touch of nutmeg enhances the warmth of the pumpkin and aids digestion. It’s also known for its calming properties — perfect for cozy autumn evenings.
🥛 Oat Milk
Oat milk creates a silky, dairy-free creaminess while adding beta-glucans, which support healthy cholesterol levels. It’s a wonderful plant-based alternative to heavy cream.
🧀 Vegan Parmesan Cheese
Vegan Parmesan offers a nutty, salty finish without dairy. It’s often made from cashews or nutritional yeast, providing a boost of B vitamins and plant-based protein.
