This Caprese Protein Pasta is made with the classic tomatoes, mozzarella and basil and is the perfect weeknight dinner. I use chick pea pasta and add chicken to make it high in protein. Each serving has 37 grams of protein! You only need a handful of ingredients and it comes together in less than 30 minutes! Some of my other pasta favorites are my Pumpkin Mac & Cheese (High Protein & Gluten Free!) and my Sun-Dried Tomato Protein Pasta With Whipped Lemon Ricotta.
You can store your leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days for best freshness. When you are ready to enjoy your leftovers, just pop them in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds per serving.
My favorite food storage containers are by the brand Razab. I do giveaways with them and truly love their products so much. All of their containers are BPA free, oven safe, freezer safe, dishwasher save, and have steam release valves! You can find them on Amazon here.

Add in the cooked pasta & diced grilled chicken. Mix until fully incorporated. Season with additional salt & pepper to taste.
