ROB'S LITTLE 10 MINUTE FAT BURNING PASTA RECIPE

Okay, the main idea here is to include a certain type of
pasta that is much higher in fiber than regular pastas, BUT
also to include several other nutrient rich foods in the
process.

This makes it a VERY satisfying meal, so you don't end up
eating endless amounts of carbs, which is usually what
happens when you are served a traditional pasta dish.

So here's the recipe:

1. 8 oz. of multigrain pasta (I use Trader Joe's Multigrain
w/Flax)

2. 1 bag organic frozen broccoli

3. 1/2 bag organic frozen peas

4. 2 boneless chicken breasts (I use organic f.ree-range)

5. 8 oz. tomato sauce (I use Trader Joe's sauces made from
organic plum tomatoes)

6. Additional Italian seasoning if desired

Bring water to a boil then reduce to medium high heat. Throw
the pasta in first for about 5 minutes, then follow with the
frozen veggies for another 5 minutes or so.

Finally add, the chicken breast (which you will have pre
cooked), drain the water, and stir in the tomato sauce.

This will get you about 4 servings, with each serving
providing about:

36 grams protein
42 grams carbs
8 grams fat
11 grams fiber
384 calories

The only problem with this meal is it could use a bit more
fat! So sometimes I'll add a teaspoon of extra virgin olive
oil after it's finished cooking. (to the whole amount, not
per serving!)

The real secret in this recipe is that we're using a type of
pasta that includes a high amount of fiber compared to the
total carbs...this slows the blood sugar spike you'd get
when eating regular white pastas.

And of course by mixing it in balance with the chicken and
high nutrient veggies, you have a delicious, nutritious fat
burning meal...

Bon Appetit!
