5 Meals, 0 Effort

Last week I made a batch of chicken and rice, and it was amazing. The leftovers were easy to throw together for meals for the week, but I really love pasta. <br><br>This week, I did it with pasta. <br><br>I used one pound of pasta, four chicken breasts, a bag of marinara, and a bag of mixed veggies.<br><br>I cooked the pasta until it was al dente and set it aside. <br><br>I cooked the chicken, mixed veggies, and marinara in the pot until the veggies were soft, and that was it. <br><br>This week, I woke up and had a serving of pasta for breakfast. <br><br>My recipe for making pasta fast is pretty simple: boil water, put pasta in it, boil until it’s done. Then, I zap it in the microwave.<br><br>I had to eat quickly before work, so it was a perfect meal.<br><br>I had a serving of pasta left over with one of the chicken breasts and the veggies from the pot. It was so good. <br><br>After work, I had a serving of pasta, a chicken breast, and a serving of leftovers from last night. <br><br>I couldn’t eat the last serving fast enough. The noodles had been sitting for a couple of days, so I knew they wouldn’t store for a couple more days. <br><br>This thing about making a big batch of pasta and passing it off as meal prep quickly isn’t true. Cooked pasta has a short shelf life, and if you want to eat a meal prep meal with pasta, you have to cook the noodles every day. <br><br>If you want to meal prep pasta, cook the noodles daily and please don’t tell me that cooking noodles takes a long time. It doesn’t. <br><br>The only thing that takes a long time is keeping the noodles from being mushy. That takes a lot of effort.<br><br>So I do it the easy way: I boil them until they’re done and that’s it. I don’t care about mushy noodles. <br><br>I like to eat fast, and I like to eat easy. <br><br>It’s not the fanciest meal prep, but it works. <br><br>I’m definitely going to do it again. <br><br><br><br>Chambers, this is my first time posting on this sub.
