INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Penne
1 cup Button Mushrooms
1 cup Fresh Spinach
0.33 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
0.5 cup Cooked Chickpeas
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
0.25 cup Vegetable Broth
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat penne according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the sliced button mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they soften and begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth to deglaze the pan, stirring to combine with the mushrooms.
Stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt slightly.
Lower the heat and mix in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. If needed, add a little pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Fold in the cooked chickpeas and then add the drained penne, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the creamy mushroom sauce.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
