18 Aug Avocado, Bean & Rocket Pasta
Filling and decadent, this warm pasta salad meets the brief of tasty and nutritious.
Avocado, a key ingredient, is rich in tryptophan, a pre-cursor to serotonin – our feel-good chemical. It also contains folate and omega 3 fatty acids. This combination is known to help regulate our brain’s neaurotransmitters.
Our Avocado, Bean & Rocket Pasta is straight from the SoupedUp kitchen and is a resident favourite!
