Elevate your pasta game with this creamy, nutritious twist!
Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the 250 grams of pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes, until al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the broccoli. Cut the 300 grams of broccoli into florets and add them to the pasta pot for the last 3-4 minutes of cooking. This will blanch the broccoli and keep it vibrant green.
In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Once the pasta and broccoli are cooked, reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain them. Immediately add the drained pasta and broccoli to the pan with the garlic oil and toss to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and mix in 150 grams of yogurt, stirring well to create a creamy sauce. Add reserved pasta water gradually until you reach your desired sauce consistency.
Grate 50 grams of parmesan cheese into the pasta and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything thoroughly and heat for another minute. Serve hot.
