I created the perfect high fiber pasta recipe in this creamy mushroom and Brussels sprouts carbonara for Rily Good Recipes. Rily.co believes in really good recipes that rethink dietary cooking, where you can find recipes adaptable to any pantry and every unique individuals’ preference.
This is not your traditional carbonara with a heavy cream sauce and bacon, although I promise it’s just as tasty! Savoury mushrooms and thinly shredded Brussels sprouts provide the vegetables and a lightened up cream sauce (no cream!) makes this dish a great option for the whole family, even kids!
This creamy carbonara-inspired pasta feels indulgent, but it gets a boost of fiber and prebiotics from the Brussels sprouts, and the healthier cream sauce makes it a great treat for diabetics and those with heart disease. It’s a satisfying option for vegetarians and will keep those wanting to incorporate meat-free meals full all night. Lastly, it can easily be made gluten-free for those with celiac disease by using a gluten-free pasta and soy sauce.
