Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat pasta
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 100 grams Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 120 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoons Truffle oil
- 20 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt and unsweetened almond milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the truffle oil, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to thin it out.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
Serve the pasta warm, garnished with fresh parsley and an optional sprinkle of additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
