Creamy Garlic Parmesan Pasta with Spinach
Pan-seared chicken and chickpea pasta tossed in a silky garlic-parmesan yogurt sauce with wilted baby spinach for a comforting yet nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken breast
2 oz Chickpea pasta
1 cup Baby spinach
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and golden. Remove chicken from the pan and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, grated parmesan, and the reserved pasta water to create a smooth sauce base.
Add the cooked pasta and baby spinach to the skillet with the garlic. Toss until the spinach begins to wilt.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the yogurt sauce and red pepper flakes, tossing until the pasta is evenly coated and creamy.
Top with the sliced chicken and serve immediately.
