Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 45 ml
  • 1 shallot
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 2 tsp dried oregano 2 grams
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme .50 grams
  • 3 cups vegetable broth 720 ml
  • 8 oz penne pasta 225 grams
  • 5 oz fresh bagged spinach 150 grams
  • 5.3 oz low fat greek yogurt 150 grams
  • sea salt & black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil

  2. In the meantime, finely chop the shallot and roughly chop the garlic

  3. Add the chopped ingredients into the hot fry pan, mix continuously, after 2 to 3 minutes and the ingredients are lightly sauteed, add in the oregano, thyme and season with sea salt & black pepper, quickly mix together, then add in the vegetable broth, raise to a high heat and give it a gentle mix

  4. When it comes to a boil, add in the pasta, mix every 2 to 3 minutes so the pasta doesn't stick together and it all evenly cooks

  5. While the pasta is cooking, roughly chop the spinach

  6. After 8 to 9 minutes and most of the broth has been absorbed, but there is still plenty of liquid left, add in the chopped spinach, all in a flat layer over the pasta, then place a lid and lower to a low-medium heat, simmer for 2 to 4 minutes or until the pasta is cooked al dente, then remove the lid and turn off the heat

  7. Once the ingredients in the pan have slightly cooled, about 3 to 4 minutes, add in the Greek yogurt and season with sea salt & black pepper, mix together until well mixed

  8. Serve directly out of the pan or transfer into serving dishes, enjoy!
