Packed pasta
 
This clean dish is more than pasta – it’s packed with veggies, protein and complex carbs.

Ready in 20 minutes • Makes 2 servings

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
• 1/4 cup onion, chopped
• 1 cup whole-wheat fettuccini (about 1/5 of box)
• 6 oz chicken breast, cubed
• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 tbsp yellow curry
• 3/4 cup garlic and herb spaghetti sauce
• 2 oz liquid egg whites

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Chop green peppers and onion. Cook pasta to desired texture, drain, return to pot.

2. In a skillet, sauté chicken with broth, curry, onions and green peppers until done. For crispier veggies, add onions and green peppers to sauté last.

3. Add chicken, onions, green peppers and spaghetti sauce to noodles, mix and heat. Pour egg whites on top of mixture to thicken sauce. Stir to allow egg whites to cook.

“This pasta has veggies, protein and is a good source of complex carbs,” says Chenara. “It’s packed, but won’t leave you feeling lethargic. It’s a great one-pot meal!”
