INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea Pasta
1 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
0.5 tbsp Olive Oil
0.5 cup Fresh Basil (packed)
1 tsp Pine Nuts
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Toss the cherry tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until they begin to burst and caramelize.
Meanwhile, cook the chickpea pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a food processor or blender, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth to create a creamy pesto sauce.
In a large bowl, toss the warm cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the roasted cherry tomatoes, and adjust seasonings if necessary before serving.
