Tenley’s Lazy Pasta

This is a recipe that I give to all of my clients. It’s a must have. It’s easy. It’s delicious. It’s healthy. AND it’s kid, husband, and boyfriend approved! I’ve even shown up at parties with this one. 😉 It’s kind of like eating a salad, but everyone feels like they’re having a pasta dish!

Ingredients

I have never measured ingredients on this recipe as it’s always something I just “throw” together. It’s that easy!

  • Brown Rice Pasta (Lundberg’s is my favorite brand)
  • Organic Chicken cooked and cut into bite sizes or shredded (You can use other proteins as well: shrimp, tempeh, etc.)
  • Chopped Garlic (I use tons, so this is up to you!)
  • Organic Fresh Spinach- LOTS!!
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Himalayan Pink Salt (Sea salt will do)
  • Red Chili flakes –optional for added flavor and heat

Instructions

 

You can make a single serving of this lazy pasta dish for yourself or make a large serving for a whole family!

Single Serving: Add a serving size of your cooked brown rice pasta to a bowl, add a couple cups of spinach, add your protein, and then dress with olive oil, garlic, himalayan pink salt, and your chili flakes if you choose to add “heat”.

Feeding a Family or more than 1: Cook whole box of brown rice. Add cooked brown rice to a large serving bowl, add a whole bag or two of spinach to the bowl, add a couple servings of your protein. Drizzle with Olive Oil, sprinkle with Himalayan Pink Salt, add your garlic, and toss all together. I recommend keeping the Chili Flakes on the side, just in case someone in the group you are feeding isn’t a fan.

Super easy and getting a complex carb, a immune fighter (garlic), Greens, a healthy fat (olive oil), Protein, and some good mineral balancing properties (Himalayan pink salt).
