Recipe: Protein Alfredo

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

Paprika

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.

Garnish:

Balsamic Glaze

Basil 

Step 1:

Boil water in a large pot adequate for the full box of pasta.

Step 2:
