His and hers pasta salad lunch...

I love to eat food, my boyfriend loves to eat food.  I'm trying to lose weight; my boyfriend is trying to gain weight.  Boyfriend eats many meals a day, I [want to] eat many meals a day.  It's a struggle for me not to eat pasta when it's right there in front of me.  I'm starting to figure out and learn how to adjust our meals and not create 2 completely different meals for the both of us.

His pasta salad

Her shiritaki noodle salad

Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts
1 red pepper, sliced into strips
1 zucchini, halved and sliced
1 bunch sugar snap peas
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 handful of basil, chopped
champagne vinaigrette 
1/2 box of bow tie pasta (for him)
1 package of shiritaki noodles (for her)

Directions:
1. Chop the chicken breasts into bite size pieces, and saute on a skillet, using the champagne vinaigrette as the oil source (and marinade).
2. Place the sliced red pepper, zucchini, and sugar snap peas on a tray and bake at 350 for about 10 min, flipping once, (or saute on a skillet if you prefer)
3. Cook the bow tie pasta per the directions on the box.
4. Wash the shiritaki noodles and place in a bow.
5. Split each of the following items and place half in the pasta bowl, and half in the shiritaki bowl: chicken, veggies, chopped basil, and feta cheese.
6. Add about a tablespoon of champagne vinaigrette to each bowl and toss.
7. Enjoy his and hers.
