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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes until they have released their moisture and start to brown.
Step 4
Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 2 minutes, until wilted.
Step 5
Add the diced cooked chicken breast to the pan and stir to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Toss everything well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the flavors.
Step 8
Divide the pasta into serving bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.
