Now it's warming up this simple dish can be a main meal or a side salad. The secret is swapping the normal whole wheat pasta for a higher protein (e.g. San Remo Protein Pasta is the best!).
Ingredients
- 320g whole wheat pasta or protein pulse pasta
- 360g roasted capsicum, drained, sliced
- 6 tbsp. basil pesto
- 1 mozzarella ball, chopped (125g)
- 120g rocket
- Salt and pepper
Adam's tip: You can add Chicken breast to this to make a main meal and increase protein!
Method
- Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packaging
- Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold running water until cooled
- In a large bowl, toss the pasta and the remaining ingredients together until combined
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately
- Alternatively, place in a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 3 days
