INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
3/4 cup Cooked Brown Lentils
1 cup Sliced Mushrooms
1 cup Baby Spinach
1/2 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they soften and begin to brown.
Stir in the cooked lentils and baby spinach. Sauté until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Reduce the heat to low and incorporate the nonfat Greek yogurt, stirring thoroughly to create a creamy sauce. Be sure not to boil the yogurt to avoid curdling.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and gently toss to combine all ingredients, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy mushroom and spinach mixture.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed meal.
