Ingredients
- 8 ounces whole wheat pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large, minced garlic clove
- 8 ounces, sliced baby bella mushrooms
- 1 cup low sodium vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0.5 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and tender.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the vegetable broth with the cornstarch until it is completely dissolved. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms.
Step 5
Stir the mixture constantly, allowing it to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and add the fat-free Greek yogurt to the skillet. Stir gently until fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth, but do not let it boil.
Step 7
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
Step 8
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until the cheese is melted and the pasta is well coated.
Step 9
Remove from heat, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the pasta, and serve immediately.
