Creamy Garlic Parmesan Pasta
Sautéed chicken and pasta tossed in a velvety garlic parmesan sauce made with Greek yogurt for a protein-packed and comforting finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne pasta
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 cup fresh spinach
2 tbsp reserved pasta water
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
Before draining the pasta, carefully scoop out the reserved pasta water and set it aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper, then sauté in the skillet until golden and cooked through.
Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic, stirring for one minute until fragrant.
Stir in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt slightly in the residual heat of the pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, grated parmesan, and reserved pasta water to create a smooth sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and pour the yogurt sauce over the top, tossing everything together until the pasta is coated in a velvety glaze.
