Creamy Tomato Basil Pasta
Sautéed chicken and chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety tomato-basil sauce enriched with Greek yogurt for a satisfying, protein-packed finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
2 oz chickpea pasta
0.5 cup tomato puree
0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 clove garlic
0.25 cup fresh basil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Lower the heat to medium, add the minced garlic, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato puree and red pepper flakes, simmering for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt and fresh basil until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water, and toss the pasta into the skillet with the sauce.
Add a tablespoon of pasta water if needed to thin the sauce, then serve immediately.
