I know this is a simple recipe. This post is primarily to give you ideas for brands to use and ways to add in a little extra protein to your pasta dishes. I swear Banza tastes like normal box pasta!

what you need:

• pasta of choice – i use Banza brand for extra protein
• alfredo sauce – you can make this or buy it. I use Primal Kitchen Garlic Alfredo Sauce but any will work
• chicken – Steven usually grills chicken (season with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper) but rotisserie would be an easy option as well!

what to do:

• cook pasta as instructed on box – make sure to continually stir especially if using Banza
• drain pasta water, reserving 1/2 cup
• toss pasta in sauce and add pasta water until consistency you like
• top with chicken
• enjoy!
