Pesto Protein Pasta Salad

Now it's warming up this simple dish can be a main meal or a side salad. The secret is swapping the normal whole wheat pasta for a higher protein (e.g. San Remo Protein Pasta is the best!).

• 360g roasted capsicum, drained, sliced
• 6 tbsp. basil pesto
• 1 mozzarella ball, chopped (125g)
• 120g rocket
• Salt and pepper

Adam's tip: You can add Chicken breast to this to make a main meal and increase protein!

Method

1. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packaging
2. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold running water until cooled
3. In a large bowl, toss the pasta and the remaining ingredients together until combined
4. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately
5. Alternatively, place in a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 3 days
