Instructions
- Put 140 g Whole wheat pasta into a pan of boiling water and simmer for 12 minutes.
- Two minutes before the pasta is done, add 180 g Spinach to the pan.
- Drain the pasta and spinach.
- Put it back into the pan with 10 Cherry tomatoes, 1 Garlic clove, juice of 1 Lemon, 6 tablespoon 0% Fat Free Greek yogurt, 20 g Fresh basil and 20 Parmesan. Season with 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper.
- Mix well and serve in bowls with a sprinkle of fresh basil on top.
Notes
- For an extra protein boost, add some grilled chicken breast before serving.
- If you want to keep this vegetarian, use a vegetarian parmesan alternative.
- Want to make this lemon pasta vegan? Swap the Greek yogurt or something like Oatly creme fraiche and use a vegan parmesan alternative.
- Feel free to change the herbs and use what you have that needs using. We find that finely chopped rosemary works well too.
- We added spinach, but other greens like kale or cabbage would work well too.
