Best for: office lunch, electric lunch box meals, easy meal prep
Prep time: 10 minutes
Heating time: about 20-25 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cooked pasta
- 1 cooked chicken breast or thigh, sliced
- 1/2 cup spinach
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 2-3 tbsp light cream sauce or Alfredo sauce
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan
- Black pepper
How to Pack It
Mix the pasta with sauce before packing so it stays moist while reheating. Add sliced chicken, spinach, tomatoes, and parmesan on top.
How to Heat
Plug in your electric lunch box about 20-25 minutes before lunch. If the pasta was refrigerated overnight, add a small spoonful of water or milk before heating.
Meal Prep Tip
Keep the sauce light and add a little extra moisture before reheating. This helps the pasta stay creamy instead of drying out.
