Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the 70 g of dry whole-wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve a small amount of pasta water before draining, then set the pasta aside.
-
Step 2.
While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 160 g of chicken and minced garlic, cooking until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Step 3.
Add the 100 g of sliced mushrooms and 100 g of halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms soften and the tomatoes begin to release their juices.
-
Step 4.
Stir in the 100 g of spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
-
Step 5.
Remove the skillet from direct heat and stir in the 60 g of Greek yogurt until a creamy sauce forms. If the sauce is too thick, loosen it with a splash of the reserved pasta water.
-
Step 6.
Add the cooked pasta and 10 g of grated parmesan to the skillet, tossing everything together until well coated. Serve immediately.
