Delicious and nutritious high protein pasta bowls with creamy garlic parmesan sauce and grilled chicken.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 120 g cooked penne or rigatoni
  • 120 g grilled chicken breast, sliced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 30 g light cream cheese
  • 15 g grated parmesan
  • 30 ml unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Fresh parsley or spinach

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking your pasta until it’s al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside for later use.
  2. In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant, usually around 1-2 minutes.
  3. Mix in the light cream cheese and slowly pour in the almond milk, stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  4. Once your sauce is prepared, incorporate the grated parmesan and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Gently stir in the cooked pasta, tossing it until fully coated in the sauce.
  6. Serve your dish topped with sliced grilled chicken and optional greens like fresh spinach or parsley.

Notes

Cooking pasta to al dente prevents it from becoming mushy in the sauce. For added flavor, consider seasoning with paprika or crushed red pepper.
