Simple and Delicious Protein Pasta Recipe
Ingredients:
1 box Barilla Protein + Pasta
- I used Penne, but any kind you prefer will work well.
1 box Cherry Tomatoes
1 brick Fat Free Cream Cheese
1/2 cup 2% Milk
- I prefer ultra filtered milk as the protein count is higher and it is lactose free
Salt
Pepper
Red Pepper Flake

Meat of choice (I cooked steaks, but chicken or fish would be great too) – generally I pick my meat based on my body comp goals at the time and on my calorie/macro needs at the time.

Balsamic Glaze
Basil
