INGREDIENTS
75g Chickpea Pasta
1 medium Roasted Red Pepper
1/2 cup Chickpeas
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
2 cloves Garlic
1/4 small Onion
4 sprigs Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the chickpea pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until soft and fragrant.
Add the drained chickpeas to the pan and lightly season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes to warm through.
In a blender, combine the roasted red pepper, low-fat Greek yogurt, nutritional yeast, and a few fresh basil leaves. Blend until smooth to create a creamy sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the sautéed chickpeas and onion, then stir in the creamy red pepper sauce until everything is well coated.
Garnish with additional fresh basil sprigs if desired, and serve warm.
