FAVE CHILDHOOD PASTA DISH:

Pasta Picante.

ALL. THE. WAY.

My mom would make pasta picante for the family pretty frequently because it was always a fam fave.

I modified the OG pasta picante recipe to add more fiber and protein…

Here’s how ya do it:

Ingredients

• 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
• 1.5 tbsp minced garlic 
• 1/4 cup salsa picante
• 1 1/2 cups dry rotini chickpea pasta
• 2 cups mushroom, sliced
• 8 oz low fat grated cheddar 
• olive oil spray

Instructions

Brown ground turkey and minced garlic, then add the salsa picante. Meanwhile cook chickpea pasta al dente and sauté mushrooms with olive oil spray. Add pasta and mix all together. Then add cheese and mix together.

Notes: Makes 5 servings (320 cals, 30 grams protein/serving)

ENJOY!!
