With sports in full swing this week, I wanted to prep something that was quick, easy to make, easy to grab and actually tasted good. This Pepperoni Pizza Pasta Salad is one of our favorites because it comes together in under 30 minutes and makes busy week nights a whole lot easier. Each serving packs 25g of protein, 43g of carbs and 16g of fat making it a great option to fuel practices, games or those nights when you’re constantly on the go.
Make it Your Own
One of the reasons we love this recipe is how easy it is to customize. Swap in your favorite pasta shape, use regular or turkey pepperoni, change up the cheese, or add vegetables like cucumbers, peppers, olives, or onions. If you’re meal prepping for different family members, you can even make each container a little different. This version is how we made it this week, but don’t be afraid to make it work for your family’s preferences.
