Edamame & Mung Bean Pasta With Caramelized Onions & Chestnuts - Vegan, gluten free, high fiber and high protein

A Vegan Thanksgiving main dish that even meat eaters will enjoy!

Edamame & Mung Bean Pasta With Caramelized Onions & Chestnuts - Vegan, gluten free, high fiber and high protein

Stuff meat eaters say to vegans and vegetarians on Thanksgiving:

  • Do you like, not celebrate Thanksgiving cause you don't eat turkey? (Eye roll)
  • Omg this is so good, are you sure you don't wanna try it? (Yes, I'm sure. Eye roll)
  • It's one day, can't you just like, eat it? (No. Eye roll)
  • Why can't you have gravy, there's no meat in it ( Brow lift)
  • Why can't you have stuffing, there's no meat in it (Brow lift. Hmm.. you sure about that?)
  • You look hungry, are you hungry? I have some frozen lasagna (Vigorous head shake)

Does that sound familiar at all? Well, if you're tired of hearing that kind of stuff, you're not alone! We've created a whooooole lot of Thanksgiving appropriate recipes since we started the blog. Enough to keep you more than satisfied! So we got your back.

We started this year's Thanksgiving menu with those delicious wild rice and seitan chorizo stuffed baby pumpkins we posted last week. Today, we're going a little "nontraditional" with a pasta recipe. Not any pasta though!

These edamame and mung bean fettuccine by Explore Asian are made from 100% organic beans and water.  Loaded with protein and fiber, vegan and gluten free. And of course, just delicious.

We paired this bean pasta with more traditional flavors, just to keep the Thanksgiving holiday spirit. Creamy chestnuts, sweet caramelized onions and tart cranberries for a little pop of flavor.

Intrigued? Try it out! It might very well become your new holiday tradition... and maybe help you keep those pesky questions away... 😉

Enjoy!

    I could never figure out why people ask vegetarians such stupid questions and then get really upset when vegetarians complain about others eating meat. Just nuts. Everyone has a choice in what to eat and vegetarian dishes are wonderful. This pasta is packed full of flavor with those onions and chestnuts along with the cranberries. Yum.

      We agree, let each person decide what they want to eat without judgement. Just enjoy cooking and the food you eat.

    This sounds like one delicious pasta! I'm digging the chestnuts in here, too. I don't use chestnuts near enough...and clearly I need to change that!

    I have a vegan friend who was once told that not having meat on Thanksgiving wasn't American, which gave her a good chuckle. This looks so tasty! I haven't used chestnuts much, but I've always wanted to. This makes my mouth water!

    What's so hard about letting people eat as they want? Can never figure out how clueless some people can be. Of course I've been clueless about edamame and mung bean pasta. Didn't know it existed! But I LOVE the idea. Terrific post -- thanks.

    This looks delicious! A fall dish with Asian flair. I am familiar with glass noodles that are made from mung beans. Those fettuccine look much heartier though. Must be the edamame 🙂 Will keep an eye open for this pasta 🙂

    Meat isn't everything. There are so many other interesting dishes out there that do not require any meat at all, and would be wonderful for a Thanksgiving meal - if people would just try them. I think we sometimes forget that Thanksgiving isn't about turkey, but about having an attitude of gratitude for what we have. Your dish looks and sounds delicious!

    Ohhh this recipe is absolutely original and delicious! I need to research where I can find those edamame and mung bean fettuccine though. Love the flavour combination! People are sooo free to eat whatever they feel like and no one has the right to judge or push anyone. Your body is perfect and gives you signals to what it craves. Some people are meat lover others are not. That is a personal choice and should be totally respected 🙂

      Hi Johanna, I don't know where you live. But by us, we find bean-based pastas in any supermarket in the pasta section. Peeled bagged chestnuts are either on endcaps with other seasonal thanksgiving ingredients or in the kosher section.
