Protein Packed Rotini with Spinach Hemp Pesto

A nutty pesto over protein pasta is a delicious combination, especially when that delicious flavor comes from hemp seeds instead of pine nuts. This pesto pasta recipe takes a traditional favorite up a few nutritional notches by packing in superfoods and 25g of plant-based protein per serving from our Lentil & Quinoa Pasta for a meal that’s just as wholesome as it is delicious.
