COMP DAY PASTA
This is the pasta salad I make whenever I'm competing in a multi-workout event. I have a portion for dinner, then take the rest with me on the day. Sometimes it gets picked at between events, sometimes there's a big enough gap to smash the whole thing.
Had a couple of requests for the recipe so here we go:
Serves 4: 52c, 37p, 14f
250g pasta, dry weight
400g chicken breast
Seasoning: onion powder, mixed herbs, chives
50g turkey bacon
1 tsp oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 lemon
50g light mayo
50g kefir or yogurt
250g halved cherry tomatoes
100g spinach
60g parmesan chunks
Salt and pepper
Cook the pasta in salted boiling water then drain and cool.
Coat the chicken in oil and seasonings, then oven bake (190c 20 mins) or air fry (180c 12-15 mins). Once cooked, shred and let it cool.
Grill or air fry the turkey bacon then cut into pieces.
In a large mixing bowl add the pasta, chicken, tomatoes and spinach. Add the dressing of yogurt, mayo, garlic, lemon, salt and pepper - then add the parmesan.
