Chicken Bruschetta Pasta Salad

Oh carbs. How I love carbs! And pasta makes me go super weak at the knees.

The pasta I used for this is a Spelt spaghetti from the supermarket. So filling I could only eat half!! And no bloating issues! Just what I need.

I highly recommend spelt to everyone and anyone. Since reading up on it online, I am a loyal and faithful convert. It is a little more expensive than regular old pasta, but so worth the extra $$!

This was so easy to make with very few ingredients.

The following recipe is a single serve recipe, as it was more of an emergency lunch I cooked up while on my solo…however feel free to adjust the quantities to how many serves you need.

  Hi! I’m so sorry about this. It seems to be a technical issue on mobile only and we are working on it right now. The recipes are on desktop if you need them urgently! Hopefully we will have all recipes up again soon! Thank you for your patience! Karina X

I read through the instructions however, I don’t see where the basil leaves come into play. Help?

  The basil is optional but it can go on the pasta and tomatoes. Sorry for the confusion. Thank you for pointing that out to me! I will edit that! Thank you for following along with me! XO
