Notes

Nutritional values are approximate and based on ⅛ recipe.

Serving Suggestions: I like to serve this pasta with cooked veggies or a green salad. Be sure to pass the bread basket.

Shop Your Kitchen: There are so many different subs you can consider based on what you have.

Stir in chopped ham, prosciutto, cooked bacon, or cooked chicken.
Fresh tomatoes can be used instead of sun-dried tomatoes.

To Make a Meal Prep: I often prepare this dish in plastic meal prep dishes for easy lunches during the week. Prep the recipe as directed, allow the steam to blow off. Divide the pasta among four meal prep boxes. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Consume within 4 days.

Freeze Extra for Later: This pasta is not recommended for freezer meal prep.

Make a Plan for Leftovers: This pasta reheats beautifully the next day. Just be sure to promptly store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave. If you store your leftovers in clear containers, they’re more likely to get eaten.
