Flat Belly Recipe: Hi-Pro Pasta Salad
This is a complete meal and loaded with nutrients. It's pretty simple. Get Trader Joe's Whole Wheat Rotini (8g of protein per serving!) and boil about half the package for 9-11 minutes. While it's boiling, zap some broccoli flowerettes in the microwave in some lemon juice and a fine thread of low fat Balsamic Vinaigrette salad dressing until they soften a little but are still fairly crisp and a rich green color (try a minute and then 30 second increments after that). Cut up a couple of pre-cooked apple chicken sausages (from TJs or any major super market) in 1/4 inch slices and then cut crosswise in half.
When the pasta is ready, run it under cold water in a colander, drain off the water, dump in the chicken, the broccoli and about 1/4 cup of Julienne cut sun dried tomatoes (packed in oil I want you to drain off first - maybe even dab them on a paper towel to mop up the excess.)
Finally, trickle on more dressing, stir it up, put it into a Tupperware bowl with the lid on and set it upside down in the refrigerator. Check it in a couple of hours by flipping it over, stirring it again and then tasting it. You should be able to taste the dressing but it shouldn't be greasy.
This keeps all week (if it lasts that long) and is a great one-stop meal for everyone.
Dig in!
