Notes
• You can use regular pasta for this dish and it may have a more favorable texture when eaten cold. Adjust your calories and macros accordingly.
• If you want to lower the calories, fat, and sodium content of this dish, you can swap out the salami for turkey lunch meat.
• For even distribution of meals among meal containers, you can either estimate the portions, or weigh the entire batch, and divide that number by your number of meal containers. This recipe makes six meals, so it would be the total weight, divided by six. That will be your portion size per meal.
• If storing for meal prep, place into freezer safe meal containers, and place in the freezer for freshness. Take the meal out of the freezer and place it in the refrigerator the night before to let the meal thaw out.
