Creamy Butternut Squash Protein Pasta with Sage
Savor the comforting blend of creamy butternut squash and tender pasta, enhanced by a burst of savory sage and lean grilled chicken. This dish artfully combines a velvety squash puree and zesty cottage cheese to create a well-rounded meal that's both satisfying and nutrient-packed.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea Pasta
3 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Pureed Butternut Squash
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
5 Fresh Sage Leaves
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then grill it until fully cooked. Once done, dice it into bite-sized pieces.
In a small saucepan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh sage leaves and lightly sauté for about 1 minute until aromatic.
In a blender, combine the roasted butternut squash (or quick-cooked squash cubes) and low-fat cottage cheese, blending until smooth and creamy.
Mix the pasta with the creamy squash sauce and folded-in diced chicken. Drizzle with the sage-infused olive oil and toss gently.
Serve warm, garnished with extra sage leaves if desired.
