Early Sunsets

Recently I discovered chickpea spaghetti. Sounds weird, I know, but it actually tastes kind of similar to regular pasta, and slathered in sauce and parmesan cheese you'd never know it wasn't regular spaghetti. Main difference is what you get out of it.

Chickpea spaghetti has much less carbs than regular pasta so you can actually eat a full bowl of it without feeling sick, but more importantly, it's got a shit load of protein (about 35g in a 5.3oz serving). I'm still trying desperately to gain muscle mass (I've been hovering around 135 pounds for the past three to four months - still ten pounds below healthy weight), so hopefully that will help. I stopped gaining weight the instant I stopped drinking protein shakes, so a lack of protein might be the issue there.

Oh, I forgot to mention the aftertaste. Whatever you do, don't eat uncooked chickpea spaghetti (I think it's just some sort of coating they use to prevent the noodles from sticking to each other while cooking. Once it's cooked and thoroughly rinsed there's no aftertaste).
