Description
This is the kind of dinner that brings everyone to the table—rich, creamy, and irresistibly comforting. I first made it on a chilly evening, hoping to warm up the kitchen and ended up with a new family favorite. It’s protein-packed and full of flavor, making it perfect for hearty appetites and cozy nights in.
Ingredients
12 oz (340 g) protein pasta (like chickpea or lentil)
2 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
4 slices turkey bacon or lean bacon, cooked and chopped
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
½ cup low-fat milk
¼ cup light cream cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan
2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
2 cups fresh spinach (optional)
Salt & pepper to taste
Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, add milk, cream cheese, and ranch seasoning. Stir until melted and smooth.
Add Greek yogurt and Parmesan. Stir well and cook on low until creamy.
Toss in cooked chicken, bacon, and spinach. Heat until spinach wilts and everything is warmed through.
Mix in cooked pasta. Stir until fully coated.
Serve hot, topped with green onions and extra bacon if desired.
Notes
Creamy, smoky, and satisfying—this pasta brings ranch flavor and a big protein boost to your plate. A comfort classic, made smarter.
