Pea Scissor-Cut Pasta: Warming Comfort Food for the Luteal Phase

This pea scissor-cut pasta is the perfect dish for your luteal phase: warming, nutrient-rich, incredibly quick to make – and at the same time so cozy and satisfying that it feels like you’ve spent hours in the kitchen. A truly hormone-friendly comfort food!

Especially in the second half of your cycle, your body craves nourishing, warm, and stabilizing meals. The combination of creamy blended peas and chickpea flour provides exactly these qualities: deep nutrients, soothing warmth, and a calming effect on digestion, nerves, and mood.

Why this recipe is so valuable in the luteal phase

Rich in B vitamins – natural support for mood & energy

Peas and chickpeas are among the top plant-based sources of B vitamins, especially vitamin B6. B6 plays a central role when it comes to:

• the production of serotonin (the feel-good hormone),

• supporting progesterone production,

• and regulating mood & energy

– all essential during the luteal phase. With this meal, you strengthen your nervous system, stabilize your mood, and gently support your body against PMS symptoms.

Warming, easily digestible comfort food

During the luteal phase and menstruation, your body needs more warmth, comfort, and easily digestible meals. This pea scissor-cut pasta is ideal for that:

• cooked & warm

• soft, gentle & nourishing

• easy on the stomach

• calming and satisfying

It gives your body exactly the sense of inner peace that feels so comforting in this phase of the cycle.

Nutmeg – a little pinch with great impact

Nutmeg not only adds depth and aroma to the pasta, but also supports the body and digestion. The effects of nutmeg include:

• warming from the inside

• calming the nervous system

• can have antispasmodic effects

• supports relaxed digestion

Especially around menstruation – when the body reacts more sensitively – this small pinch is incredibly soothing.
