This dish primarily supports gut-brain axis health through tryptophan-rich pumpkin seeds and fermented soy from tempeh, with secondary benefits for digestion (from wholegrain pasta) and immunity (from plant-based antioxidants).
Functional Pathway Link:
Pumpkin seeds and basil support the gut-brain axis via tryptophan and polyphenols. Tempeh enhances the brain-gut connection through fermented soy, contributing both protein and probiotics.
Allergen Information: Soy, gluten, seeds.
