High Protein and High Fiber Pasta Salad
Pasta salad is one of my favorite meals to make in the summer. It's great for a gathering, or is a nice way to meal-prep a few meals for the week. For my version, I love to use a chickpea pasta for added protein and fiber, and fill the pasta salad with colorful veggies, protein, and a light vinaigrette. This meal is always a winner in our house!

- Preheat your oven to bake at 375 F. Place the chicken breast in a baking pan, and drizzle with olive oil, and season with Amore Italian Seasoning. Sprinkle with salt if desired as Amore is salt free.
- Bake the chicken until the internal temperature reads 165. This will take approximately 35 minutes. I recommend using a digital probe thermometer inserted into the chicken while it cooks.
- Cook the peas in a small pot of water on the stove top until they are warm. This will take 2-5 minutes. Then drain and allow to cool.
- Cook the Banza rotini according to the instructions on the package. I cook mine in boiling water for 7 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water.
- Pour the drained pasta into a large mixing bowl.
- Chop the chicken into bite size pieces.
- Add the chopped chicken to the bowl with the pasta.
- Pour in the chopped artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, peas, mozzarella pearls, and diced salami.
- Pour the Italian dressing over the pasta salad, and gently toss so you don't break the pasta.
- Serve and enjoy!
