INGREDIENTS
2 oz dry Chickpea Pasta
1 oz Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese
2 slices Bacon
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the chickpea pasta for 7-9 minutes or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until it becomes crispy. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess fat, then crumble or chop into pieces.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine the reduced fat cheddar cheese and nonfat Greek yogurt. Warm gently, stirring until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Mix the cooked pasta with the creamy cheese sauce, adding garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Fold in the crispy bacon pieces, ensuring even distribution.
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy this balanced, protein-packed dish.
