I buy the whole grain, omega 6 pasta from bartillo- it has about 6 grams of fiber, 5-8 grams of protein and omegas. I buy the cappellini (angel hair). I cook up a big batch and keep it in my fridge. I take the cooked cappellini, butter, and frech BABY spinach- just put in a skillet and heat, that's it.
There are lots of variations on the above theme. I take leftover chicken(even fried) and pull the white meat out and add it to my spinach spaghetti. I've tried white tuna-I put it on top AFTER i cook the spinach spaghetti. I might put in a can of baby peas or a can of mixed vegetables. Sometimes i use a shredded 4 cheese combo on top, too. It is filling and delicious and nutritious.
I also put the cappellini in my soups to add extra fiber & protein. I love Bartolli's cappelini because i like pasta but it generally doesn't have a lot of nutritional value, but i feel like i am eating a nutritious meal when i use this product.
I only cook for myself and don't enjoy it much, but i don't always want to eat out or just eat frozen and processed foods. This is so easy to do, even i'll cook it. I also like the fact that i can add it to a can of soup and increase the fiber and protein.
