Cheesy Lemon Alfredo Pasta

I love a quick weeknight meal and I especially love a three ingredient meal. This Cheesy Lemon Alfredo pasta is made with only three ingredients, Lemon Alfredo Sauce, Pasta, and Mini Mozzarella Balls. I used Banza pasta because it is made with chick peas, and it is the best gluten free pasta on the market. Also, I feel pretty awesome about the fact that I ate a full plate of chickpeas no matter if it was tossed in creamy alfredo sauce or not! 🙂

This is a Trader Joe’s appreciation post, and it isn’t sponsored, although I wish it was! I love all the unique products Trader Joe’s comes out with every year. They aren’t always a 10/10, but I like they they always have something new for me to try. There is always a new pasta sauce, always a new frozen entree, and always a new cheese. As a food blogger, and now a mom, I like having these options available to me. Trader Joe’s lets me get creative in the kitchen in a way some other stores just do not. It’s true that a good food blogger doesn’t need fancy ingredients to make something delicious, but a good food blogger gets excited about new types of food and new items to taste!

This Cheesy Lemon Alfredo Pasta was a lot of fun to make. I love adding those mozzarella balls to pasta recipes lately. They give the dish such a fun spin. You only need three ingredients to make this easy meal. I used the Limone Alfredo sauce by trader joes, but any lemony alfredo sauce works, and then I combined it with boiled pasta and mini mozzarella balls. You can also add broccoli or asparagus to this dish to jazz it up a bit.

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Dried Pasta I used Banza Chickpea Pasta
  • 8 oz Mini Fresh Mozzarella Balls Ciliegine
  • 7.5 oz Lemon Alfredo Sauce I found this at Trader Joes
  • water

Instructions
 

  • Boil your pasta until cooked. Drain and toss back into the pot.
  • Add your alfredo sauce and mozzarella balls and stir on low heat.
  • Add water (1/4 cup) and mix, so that the sauce thins out a bit and it helps the mozzarella to melt a little.
  • Once sauce is heated through and the balls start to get a little melty, serve and eat.

    Looks so good. And I also love chick peas. Just thought about this-how do chick peas grow? Vines? Like any other bean or pea?
