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.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy the rich flavors of this high-protein pasta with truffle.
