Roasted Red Pepper Period-Support Pasta 🍝 Hormone Happy Kitchen Ep 20 Creamy, cozy, and made with pumpkin seeds instead of heavy cream. I added air-fried chicken breast to mine for extra protein, and it turned out SO good. Ingredients: - 2 red bell peppers - 4 Roma tomatoes - 3–4 large garlic cloves - ½ cup raw pumpkin seeds, soaked - ½ cup chicken broth - Olive oil - Italian seasoning - Red pepper flakes - Salt + pepper - Pasta of choice - Parmesan - Fresh parsley - Air-fried chicken breast, optional 1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. 2. Chop the red peppers and tomatoes and add them to a baking sheet with the garlic. Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. 3. Roast for about 30–35 minutes, or until everything is soft, juicy, and starting to caramelize around the edges. 4. Add the roasted veggies and garlic to a blender with ½ cup chicken broth and ½ cup soaked pumpkin seeds. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. 5. Meanwhile, cook your pasta according to the package directions. Before draining, save about ½ cup of pasta water. 6. Pour the roasted red pepper sauce into a pan and warm it over medium-low heat. Add a splash of pasta water as needed until the sauce is as creamy and silky as you want it. 7. Toss in your cooked pasta until completely coated. I added sliced air-fried chicken breast to mine for some extra protein. 8. Finish with freshly grated Parmesan, parsley, black pepper, and a little extra red pepper flake if you like some heat. 🤌🏼 The pumpkin seeds are my favorite little addition here because they make the sauce creamy while adding magnesium, iron, zinc, and healthy fats - nutrients that are especially nice to prioritize around your period. Pairing them with the vitamin C-rich red peppers and tomatoes also helps your body absorb more of the plant-based iron. Save this one for your next luteal/period week 🤍 #healthyrecipe #periodtips #hormonehealth
