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

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. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt and unsweetened almond milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.

Step 6

Serve the pasta warm, garnished with fresh parsley and an optional sprinkle of additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
