High Protein Savory Provencal Pappardelle Pasta

High Protein Savory Provencal Pappardelle Pasta

Pasta night doesn’t have to mean heavy carbs and little else. With the right ingredients, it can be a balanced, satisfying, and protein-packed meal that fuels your body as much as it feeds your soul. That’s exactly what you get with High Protein Savory Provençal Pappardelle Pasta—a dish that brings all the comfort of a hearty bowl of noodles and levels it up with nourishing ingredients and gourmet flavor.

At the heart of this dish is Le Sauce & Co.’s Savory Provençal Gourmet Pasta Sauce, a rich, herb-forward tomato sauce packed with vegetables like zucchini, carrots, onions, and bell peppers. It’s inspired by the sun-soaked countryside of Southern France, where herbs like rosemary, thyme, and basil thrive—and it’s this flavor base that turns a simple pasta dish into something layered and deeply satisfying. But what truly sets this version apart is how it brings in a punch of protein without compromising on taste.

The wide, silky ribbons of pappardelle are ideal for holding onto the chunky, veggie-rich sauce. They provide the perfect canvas for the bold Provençal flavor, and they feel luxurious without being too heavy. But while the pasta may get the first glance, the real heroes of this dish are the protein add-ins. Whether you stir in tender chunks of grilled chicken, crumbles of spicy Italian turkey sausage, or even a handful of white beans for a plant-based twist, the sauce handles it all beautifully. Each bite becomes a symphony of flavor and texture—hearty, savory, and perfectly balanced.

What’s brilliant about using Le Sauce & Co.’s Savory Provençal sauce is how it does the heavy lifting for you. It’s already loaded with vegetables and spices, which means you don’t need to spend time chopping or seasoning. Just cook your protein, warm your sauce, boil your pasta, and combine. You’ve got a restaurant-worthy meal in minutes—and one that doesn’t leave you feeling sluggish afterward.

It’s also a smart choice for meal prepping. The sauce reheats beautifully and holds its flavor and texture, making it ideal for leftovers or make-ahead lunches. The high protein content helps keep you full longer, making this dish as practical as it is delicious.

And let’s not forget the joy of eating it. There’s something undeniably satisfying about twirling wide ribbons of pappardelle around your fork, coating them in a sauce that’s as bright and vibrant as it is comforting. The Provençal flavors feel both rustic and elevated—like a Sunday dinner that came together on a Tuesday night.

Whether you’re looking to feed hungry mouths after a long day, prepping meals for the week, or simply craving something cozy yet nutritious, High Protein Savory Provençal Pappardelle Pasta checks every box. It’s easy, it’s flavorful, and it’s full of real, wholesome ingredients. Because pasta night should always feel like a treat—and with Le Sauce & Co., it always does.
