Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams chickpea pasta
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 150 grams mushrooms, sliced
- 100 grams baby spinach
- 150 grams cooked chicken breast, diced
- 1 tablespoon truffle oil
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the chickpea pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, typically 7-9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes until they have released their moisture and start to brown.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 2 minutes, until wilted.
Add the diced cooked chicken breast to the pan and stir to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
Reduce the heat to low and add the drained pasta to the pan. Drizzle with truffle oil and toss everything together to coat the ingredients in the oil.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Toss everything well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the flavors.
Divide the pasta into serving bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy the rich flavors of this high-protein pasta with truffle.
