Crumbed Chicken Pasta 
Indulgent. Satisfying. Comforting. The Crumbed Chicken Pasta is the ultimate hearty pasta salad. It all starts with perfectly cooked pasta, providing a filling base. But the star here? Crunchy, golden-brown pieces of crumbed chicken schnitty that offer the perfect balance of texture and flavour.

Fresh capsicum, red onion and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese are tossed in for added freshness. The salad is elevated with a creamy dressing and chilli mayo that ties it all together, delivering a dreamy balance of richness and zest.  

This salad is an excellent choice for anyone who loves comforting and hearty foods. 

Chicken Pesto Pasta 
Here’s a salad that’s all about bold, aromatic flavours. The Chicken Pesto Pasta is a celebration of fresh basil, nutty Parmesan, and perfectly seasoned poached chicken. The pasta itself is generously coated in a vibrant pesto sauce and creamy dressing, ensuring each bite is packed with flavour. 

But the flavour profile doesn’t stop there—sun-dried tomatoes and peppery rocket are sprinkled throughout for a tangy-sweet contrast, while a handful of shaved parmesan adds a delightful nutty undertone. 

The Chicken Pesto Pasta is perfect for those who crave bold, herbaceous flavours wrapped in a wholesome, hearty dish. Whether you’re a pesto lover or just looking to try something new, this one’s sure to win you over.

Sicilian Pasta 
If you're searching for something with Mediterranean flair, look no further than the Sicilian Pasta. This salad is a vibrant feast for the senses, combining simple yet bold ingredients for a truly unforgettable dish.

It starts with al dente pasta tossed in parmi sauce, that serves as the base for a medley of fresh ingredients. Olives, charred red capsicum and eggplant are mixed in, offering rich, savoury, and tangy profiles. Baby spinach leaves, red onion and savoury bacon bits tie all the flavours together. 

The Sicilian Pasta stands out for its versatility. It’s delish and satisfying, making it a fantastic choice for anyone who loves bold, fresh flavours and an authentic taste of the Mediterranean.

Tuscan Veg Pasta 
Plant-based perfection comes to life in the Tuscan Veg Pasta. Packed with vibrant, garden-fresh ingredients, this salad feels like a Tuscan countryside picnic in every bite. 
It features cherry tomato, chargrilled eggplant, charred zucchini, colourful sundried tomato, roasted capsicum and fresh baby spinach. A subtle, pesto dressing complements the earthy notes of the vegetables, while kalamata olives and feta takes this dish to the next level. 

The Tuscan Veg Pasta is a fantastic choice for vegetarians—or anyone who enjoys a flavour-packed meal. It’s proof that meat isn’t necessary when you’ve got a medley of vegetables this flavourful.
