High-Protein Healthy Pasta Recipe for Fitness Lovers

• Boost the protein: Use high-protein pasta (e.g. lentil, chickpea, or whole-wheat enriched pasta) or combine with lean proteins (chicken breast, turkey, cottage cheese, tofu, or legumes). 

• Add vegetables: Colourful veggies like spinach, broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes add fibre, vitamins, and texture. 

• Use a light sauce: Instead of heavy cream or full-fat cheese, opt for tomato-based sauces, or yogurt-cashew blends, or light olive-oil–based dressings. 

• Control portions: Balance the ratio of pasta to veggies/protein so you aren’t overloading on carbs. 

• Smart cooking: Don’t overcook, retain the bite (al dente) to preserve starch structure and lower glycemic impact. 

• 200 g high-protein pasta (e.g. chickpea-based or whole-wheat enriched) 

• 200 g boneless chicken breast, diced 

• 1 tablespoon olive oil 

• 1 small onion, finely chopped 

• 2–3 garlic cloves, minced 

• 1 cup chopped spinach leaves 

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 

• ½ cup low-fat Greek yogurt 

• 2 tablespoons tomato paste 

• ½ teaspoon dried oregano 

• ½ teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste) 

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper 

• Salt to taste 

• Fresh basil or parsley for garnish 

• Vegetarian / Vegan Option: Replace chicken with sautéed tofu cubes or chickpeas. Use dairy-free vegan yogurt or cashew cream. 

• Seafood Twist: Use shrimp or pieces of firm fish. Add a dash of lemon juice for brightness. 

• Spice It Up: Add roasted red pepper, olives, or capers for a Mediterranean spin. 

• Extra Greens: Stir in peas, broccoli florets, kale, or zucchini. 

• Cheese Addition: Sprinkle a little Parmesan or ricotta dollop (in moderation) for richness. 

Make It One-Pot: After boiling pasta, you can build the sauce in the same pot (with care) to reduce cleanup time.
