INGREDIENTS
1.5 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (42g)
1/4 cup Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto (62g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (60g)
1 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables (150g)
1/2 cup Roasted Chickpeas (82g)
3 ounces Extra-Firm Tofu (85g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Toss the vegetables in a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them out on the baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta in boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, press the extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes and sauté in a non-stick pan over medium heat until lightly golden on all sides.
In a large bowl, combine the warm pasta with the sun-dried tomato pesto and nonfat Greek yogurt. Mix until the pasta is evenly coated.
Gently fold in the roasted vegetables, roasted chickpeas, and sautéed tofu into the pasta mixture.
Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh basil or cracked black pepper if desired.
