Mediterranean Feta & Roasted Pepper Protein Pasta (35g Protein)

Published: 8/24/2026

A sophisticated, cream-free sauce that relies on the natural sweetness of roasted peppers and the tang of feta. Protein-fortified noodles deliver a high-performance meal that feels like a Mediterranean holiday.

Ingredients (4 servings)

• 8 oz (225 g) protein-fortified spaghetti
• 1 jar (12 oz / 340 g) roasted red peppers, drained
• 7 oz (200 g) block of feta cheese
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/2 tsp (1 g) smoked paprika
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) reserved pasta water

Instructions

1. Boil the protein pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup (60 ml) of pasta water.
2. In a high-speed blender, combine the drained roasted peppers, feta cheese, garlic, and smoked paprika. Blend until completely smooth.
3. Pour the sauce into a large skillet over very low heat.
4. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat. Use the reserved pasta water to adjust the consistency until the sauce is silky and clings to the noodles.

Pro Tips

• The No-Boil Rule: Because feta and vegetable sauces can separate if boiled, keep the heat low during the final toss. This preserves the creamy emulsion.
