Creamy Tomato Basil Pasta
Sautéed chicken and chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety tomato-basil sauce finished with a dollop of protein-rich Greek yogurt.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
0.5 cup tomato puree
2 tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
0.25 cup fresh basil
1 cup baby spinach
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions, reserving a small amount of pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the pan to rest, then add the minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté until fragrant.
Pour in the tomato puree and simmer for 5 minutes, then stir in the baby spinach until it is just wilted.
Turn off the heat and whisk in the Greek yogurt and sliced fresh basil until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Slice the rested chicken into strips and toss it into the skillet along with the cooked pasta, adding a splash of reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
