Protein Pasta (legume-based, dry): Protein, Calories & Full Nutrition Breakdown

Why Protein Pasta (legume-based, dry) shows up in protein-forward diets

Made from lentil or chickpea flour instead of wheat semolina, which roughly triples the protein of standard pasta at the same serving size while keeping a similar texture when cooked al dente.

Serving-size math

A 2oz dry (56g) portion delivers 12.3g of protein and roughly 196 calories. Scaled per 100 calories, that works out to 6.29g of protein — useful for comparing against other foods on a calorie-matched basis rather than a weight-matched one.

Prep tip

Cook 1-2 minutes less than the package suggests — legume-based pasta goes from al dente to mushy faster than wheat pasta.
