Creamy Garlic-Truffle Mushroom Protein Pasta
Savor a luxurious, creamy pasta dish that balances earthy mushrooms with a whisper of truffle and a satisfying protein boost from tempeh and chickpea pasta. This dish provides a silky, garlicky sauce with tender mushrooms and fresh spinach, creating a rich yet light meal perfect for dinner.
INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Chickpea Pasta
1 cup sliced Mushrooms
2 Garlic Cloves
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 ounces Low Fat Cream Cheese
2 ounces Tempeh
1 teaspoon Truffle Oil
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Boil a pot of water and cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then 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 1 minute.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they begin to soften, around 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the tempeh pieces and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes so they brown slightly.
Mix in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt, about 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to low and add the low fat cream cheese, stirring until it melts into a creamy sauce that evenly coats the vegetables and tempeh.
Drizzle the truffle oil over the mixture, season with salt and pepper to taste, and gently combine.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet ensuring it is well mixed with the sauce. Heat together for another minute.
Serve warm, enjoying a savory balance of creamy, garlicky, and earthy flavors.
