High Protein Savory Provencal Pappardelle Pasta

High Protein Savory Provencal Pappardelle Pasta

There’s a reason pasta night is such a beloved tradition—it’s cozy, satisfying, and endlessly customizable. But if you’ve ever felt like pasta couldn’t be part of a high-protein or balanced lifestyle, it’s time to think again. Introducing High Protein Savory Provençal Pappardelle Pasta: a bold, comforting, and incredibly flavorful dish that checks all the boxes for taste, nutrition, and convenience.

This is not your average pasta bowl. Built around Le Sauce & Co.’s Savory Provençal Gourmet Pasta Sauce, this dish is packed with real vegetables, Mediterranean herbs, and that home-cooked, slow-simmered flavor that makes each bite feel like a celebration. The sauce is rich in tomato, garlic, thyme, and a medley of garden vegetables—delivering both flavor and nutrition in every spoonful.

To turn this into a high-protein meal, we pair the sauce with hearty additions like ground bison, lean turkey, grilled chicken, or even plant-based protein crumbles for a vegetarian option. These additions soak up the sauce’s complex flavors beautifully and bring the dish into protein-packed territory. The protein not only adds staying power to the meal—it gives it a depth and richness that’s incredibly satisfying.

And then there’s the pasta: wide ribbons of pappardelle. These luxurious noodles hold onto the savory sauce and bits of protein, making every bite comforting and satisfying. While traditional pappardelle is already a treat, using a high-protein or whole grain variety adds another level of nutritional balance, turning what’s usually seen as a “cheat meal” into something you can feel great about eating anytime.

One of the best things about this dish is its simplicity. No elaborate prep. No obscure ingredients. Just a few real, flavorful components brought together with a sauce that’s already perfectly seasoned. Le Sauce & Co. does the hard work for you—so you can spend less time cooking and more time enjoying. Whether you’re meal prepping for the week or throwing together a quick dinner after a long day, this pasta dish delivers the comfort and nutrition you need.

It’s also incredibly versatile. Toss in sautéed spinach or kale, roast some zucchini or bell peppers, or add a scoop of cottage cheese or ricotta for a creamy twist. The Provençal sauce complements vegetables, proteins, and herbs beautifully, making it the perfect base for your favorite healthy upgrades.

In a world where fast food and freezer meals dominate, this pasta is a reminder that nutritious food can also be hearty, comforting, and gourmet. High Protein Savory Provençal Pappardelle Pasta brings it all together—flavor, nourishment, and ease. It’s pasta night reimagined. Bold. Balanced. And absolutely delicious.

So the next time you’re looking for a meal that satisfies your hunger and supports your health goals, skip the takeout. With Le Sauce & Co. in your pantry, you’re just a few steps away from a protein-packed pasta dinner that tastes like it came straight from a European bistro
