Ingredients
- 7 1/10 oz pasta
- a pinch olive oil
- 2 clove garlic
- 0.63 cup tomato sauce
- 1 1/10 oz protein powder
Instructions
- 1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

- 3While the pasta cooks, heat a pinch of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.

- 5Pour the tomato sauce into the skillet, stir, and let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
