Comment:

I have to admit... I didn't have this recipe ready and cooked it with leftovers from the recipe for chicken breast with cottage cheese and parmesan (link). Anyway, I still really liked the pasta.

The recipe is perfect for the weight-gain (bulking) phase because it contains a lot of calories, protein, and carbohydrates.

I made it for dinner and it was absolutely perfect, I was so full until night.

Would I make this recipe again? Probably not in the exact same form, but yes. I would add more cheese to the pasta when cooking and less grated cheese on the pasta when serving. Otherwise, the recipe was very good.

I hope you like my recipe. I will be happy if you check out other recipes. Every Saturday a new, original protein recipe is released.
