Pasta Burger Bowls!!! How is this not a thing yet?! It’s so easy and still satisfies my pasta cravings 😍

🍝 Ingredients

For the burgers

• 1/2 lb ground chicken (sub ground turkey)
• Salt & pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 1/2 tsp dried parsley
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/4 cup Daylight Veggie Pasta Sauce
• 2 oz shredded goat mozzarella cheese (optional)

For the pasta bowl

• 4 oz cooked gluten-free pasta
• Splash of pasta water
• 1/2 cup Daylight Veggie Pasta Sauce
• 2 cups arugula
• Balsamic vinaigrette dressing of choice

🍝 instructions

-Combine the ground chicken with the salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, parsley and basil and gently mix in. Form into two burgers (or three smaller burgers) and set aside.

-Heat a large pan over medium heat (or outdoor grill), and grease well with avocado oil. Add the burgers and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 F.

-Turn down the heat and add 2 tbsp of Daylight Veggie Pasta Sauce on each burger. Top each burger with 1 oz of shredded cheese (if using). Cover the pan to allow the cheese to melt for about 2 minutes. Remove the cover and set the burgers aside.

-Prepare the pasta by combining the cooked pasta with a splash of pasta water and Daylight Veggie Pasta Sauce. Stir to combine and coat the pasta.

-Serve the bowl by diving the pasta between the two bowls, adding the cooked burgers, and arugula topped with Balsamic vinaigrette dressing!
