INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chickpea Pasta (dry)
1/2 cup Chickpeas (canned, drained)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 serving Asparagus (approx 6 spears)
1/2 Lemon (juice and zest)
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss asparagus with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Meanwhile, cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a splash of pasta water.
In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt with lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped basil, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Gently stir in the chickpeas to the yogurt mixture.
Toss the warm pasta with the creamy chickpea mixture, adding a small amount of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Plate the pasta and top with the roasted asparagus. Garnish with extra herbs if desired and serve immediately.
