The suggested dishes are carb-rich with at least 60% carbohydrates and 30% protein per single and Grande (30% larger) portions, making them the ideal nutritional choice before an intense and long physical activity such as a marathon:
- Truffle Mac and Cheese
- Mushroom Ragu with Chicken
- Beef and Chianti Lasagne
- Alfredo Sauce with Chicken
And for those on a vegan diet, opting for a fresh cherry tomato with spinach macaroni will yield a similar nutritional balance.
Roberta d’Elia, Head Chef at Pasta Evangelists comments: “It is well known that pasta is the marathon runner’s meal of choice thanks to its ‘slow release’ properties. Carb loading usually starts 2-3 days pre-run and during this time, you want to be resting, relaxing and trying your best not to overthink the challenge ahead. Having a simple, yet wonderfully delicious and nutritious bowl of fresh artisan pasta delivered to your door is a real treat. And the best part? We have all the comforting classics to help mitigate the “fear” of eating something new while on the go during marathon week. From our carbonara of dreams or famous pesto, to our simple yet delicious cherry tomato and sauces – this is fresh, performance-fuelling pasta as its best!”
