Disclosure: I am sponsored by Beano in exchange for sharing this information and creating a recipe.
Last week I posted about all the ingredients that causes gas, and I was challenged by Beano to come up with a recipe that used at least five gas-inducing ingrediants. I chose to create Roasted Cauliflower Pasta with White Bean-Sage Sauce.
The ingredients that are gas inducing are:
- Cauliflower
- Pasta
- Onions
- Parsley
- Peppers, Sweet
- Beans
Before consuming this awesome dish though you might want to pop some Beano, don’t say I didn’t warn you!
Roasted Cauliflower Pasta with White Bean-Sage Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 4 tbsp olive oil, divided into 2 parts
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 spoonfuls Minced Garlic (or use fresh garlic if you have it, adjust according to garlic preference)
- 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, diced
- 1 can white beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 sweet pepper, diced (I used a yellow pepper)
- 1 tbsp vinegar (I used rice vinegar because that is what I had on hand)
- 1/2 cup broth (I used chicken broth because that is what I had on hand)
- 1 box pasta, cooked as usual
- Parsley, for garnish
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss cauliflower with 2 tablespoons olive oil and lemon juice. Spread in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes or until tender and lightly browned.
Cook pasta according to directions. Drain and return to pot.
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onion, garlic, sage, sweet pepper, beans and vinegar and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Transfer contents of the pan to a blender or food processor and blend, gradually adding ½ cup of vegetable stock if you want to thin it out. I used about 1/2 cups of chicken broth to get the consistency I wanted.
Once cauliflower is roasted, pasta is cooked and sauce is blended, toss everything in a big bowl. Garnish with parsley.

So basically what you should do before you eat this meal (or any meal with gas inducing natural ingredients) is take Beano before you start eating and it will help breakdown complex carbohydrates that cause you to feel bloated. Beano even comes in different varieties, including tablets, meltways and a To-Go container. I had no clue before that there was something I should eat along with my favorite foods!
What foods do you eat that give you that “uhhhhh” in your tummy feeling?
