Savor a luscious bowl of chickpea pasta coated in a light, tangy Greek yogurt cream sauce, accented by the savory crunch of crispy bacon and the freshness of wilted spinach. This dish harmonizes hearty protein with vibrant greens for a satisfying, balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Chickpea Pasta (56g)
3 slices Bacon (45g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (120g)
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil (2.25g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Once done, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat and roughly chop once cooled.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the fresh spinach to the pan and cook briefly until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy base. Mix well to combine with the garlic-infused spinach.
Add the drained pasta to the pan and toss until evenly coated in the creamy sauce. Fold in the crispy bacon pieces.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve immediately while warm.
