PREPARATION

  • 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.

  • 2

    While the pasta cooks, slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.

  • 3

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.

  • 4

    Reduce the heat to medium, add the minced garlic and baby spinach to the skillet, and sauté until the spinach is just wilted.

  • 5

    In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and plain Greek yogurt until the mixture is smooth and combined.

  • 6

    Drain the pasta, reserving two tablespoons of the cooking water to help emulsify the sauce.

  • 7

    Add the cooked pasta and the pesto-yogurt mixture to the skillet with the chicken and spinach.

  • 8

    Toss everything together over low heat, adding the reserved pasta water if needed to reach a creamy consistency, and serve immediately.
