INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea Penne
1/2 cup Chickpeas (drained canned)
1/3 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/3 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 garlic clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the chickpea penne according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the low-fat milk and grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
Add the drained chickpeas to the sauce, gently mashing a few to help thicken the sauce but leaving most whole for texture.
Mix in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt into the sauce, about 1-2 minutes.
Combine the cooked penne with the creamy sauce, stirring to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, enjoying the creamy blend of flavors and textures.
