This CREAMY Spinach & Garlic Pasta is what healthy and delicious food is all about. It’s packed with flavors, made with simple heart-healthy ingredients and all done in just 30 minutes. But the best part? It’s a one-pan pasta dish, so you have a very easy clean-up at the end.
To make this recipe, I used penne pasta. But you can use any type of pasta you like. Just make sure to check the package instructions on the pasta that you’re using, that way you cook it perfectly al dente.
What gives this pasta dish that beautiful creamy texture is the Greek yogurt. I used low-fat, but you can also use full-fat or even fat-free. Either way, make sure to add it to the pasta at room temperature, otherwise, it will easily curdle.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: You can make this pasta ahead of time, it will hold for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge. If you see your cream sauce is too thick, just add in some more broth.

Ingredients
- 3tbspextra virgin olive oil45 ml
- 1shallot
- 6clovesgarlic
- 2tspdried oregano2 grams
- 1/2tspdried thyme.50 grams
- 3 cupsvegetable broth720 ml
- 8ozpenne pasta225 grams
- 5ozfresh bagged spinach150 grams
- 5.3ozlow fat greek yogurt150 grams
- sea salt & black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil
In the meantime, finely chop the shallot and roughly chop the garlic
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
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
While the pasta is cooking, roughly chop the spinach
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
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
Serve directly out of the pan or transfer into serving dishes, enjoy!
