Spaghetti with fresh herbs is ideal the night before a race. With 75g carbohydrate, 18g protein, 17g fat and 5g fibre per portion, it’s tasty, simple and well-balanced.
Here’s three more pasta ideas to mix it up…
Pasta for breakfast – Swap garlic, chilli and anchovies for chopped cherry tomatoes, avocado and bacon. Beat two eggs and stir in at the end for a nice sauce.
Boost the macros – Drain a can of sardines and stir them in. Then sprinkle with pine nuts to add more protein and unsaturated fats to your dish.
Go green – Add very thinly sliced courgette and a couple of handfuls of peas to the pasta one minute before draining for an extra fix of greens.
