INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Penne (dry)
1 cup Broccoli (raw, roasted)
0.75 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli florets with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until edges are crisp and slightly browned.
While the broccoli roasts, cook the whole wheat penne according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of pasta water.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Reduce the heat to very low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt, nutritional yeast, and grated Parmesan cheese. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to achieve a creamy consistency. Season with salt and black pepper.
Toss the drained penne in the creamy garlic sauce until well coated.
Plate the pasta and top with the roasted broccoli. Optionally, garnish with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan or nutritional yeast and a grind of black pepper.
Serve immediately and enjoy a satisfying blend of creamy garlic goodness with hearty, roasted broccoli.
