    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.
