Ingredients
UnitsScale
12oz fettuccine or pasta of choice
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1cup milk (dairy or unsweetened non-dairy)
1cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the pasta, broth, and milk to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until pasta is cooked and most liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and stir in Greek yogurt and Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Use whole wheat or gluten-free pasta for a healthier variation.
Add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or grilled chicken for extra protein and flavor.
For a thinner sauce, add a splash of reserved pasta water or broth.
