Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams spaghetti or linguine
- 150 grams Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 100 grams strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 50 grams blueberries
- 1 medium banana, sliced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons mint leaves, finely chopped
- 30 grams almonds or walnuts, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook the spaghetti or linguine according to the package instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes).
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the fruits: hull and slice the strawberries, slice the banana, and measure out the blueberries.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, and lemon zest. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and rinse under cold water to cool it down. Shake off excess water and transfer the pasta to a large mixing bowl.
Pour the yogurt mixture over the cooled pasta and toss gently to combine and coat the pasta evenly.
Add the sliced strawberries, blueberries, banana, and chopped mint leaves to the pasta. Toss again to incorporate the fruits evenly.
If using nuts, sprinkle the chopped almonds or walnuts on top for added crunch and texture.
Serve immediately in bowls, garnished with an extra drizzle of honey and a sprig of mint, if desired. Enjoy your Fruity Breakfast Pasta!
