Menu Details

ZENB Noodle Basil Green Pasta

The highlight of this collaboration is undoubtedly the ZENB Noodle Basil Green Pasta. Using gluten-free ZENB noodles made solely from peas, the dish is generously coated in a special green sauce that bursts with a refreshing basil flavor and nutty richness. Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy depth, and a hint of lemon provides a delightful acidity that enhances the overall taste, ensuring that each bite remains enjoyable.

Accompanying the dish are roasted pumpkin seeds for crunch and mini tomatoes for a splash of color and texture, making this pasta not only appealing to the palate but visually satisfying as well. It offers a healthy, substantial meal perfectly suited for the summer.
