INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium roasted Beet
1 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Spinach
0.5 cup Cooked Lentils
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wrap the beet in foil and roast until tender, about 45-60 minutes. Allow it to cool, then peel and roughly chop.
Cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a splash of pasta water.
In a food processor, combine the roasted beet, nonfat Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If needed, add a little pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.
In a large pan, lightly wilt the spinach over medium heat. Add the cooked lentils and pasta, then stir in the beet sauce until everything is well coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with an extra drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
