INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea Pasta
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas, drained
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 small Carrot
1/3 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a blender, combine the fresh spinach, carrot, non-fat Greek yogurt, and nutritional yeast. Blend until the vegetables are fully pureed to create a smooth creamy sauce.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the drained chickpeas. Sauté lightly for 2-3 minutes to warm them through.
Add the pureed vegetable mixture to the pan with the chickpeas, stirring gently to incorporate and heat the sauce evenly.
Mix in the cooked chickpea pasta and toss the ingredients together until well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Allow the dish to simmer for an additional 2 minutes for flavors to meld before serving.
