Creating the Creamy High-Protein Pasta Bowl can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole grain pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add Chicken and Spinach: Add the diced chicken and spinach to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the spinach is wilted and the chicken is heated through.
4. Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low. Add the Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
5. Combine Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the sauce mixture. Toss to evenly coat the pasta in the creamy sauce.
6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired.
7. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if using.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible pasta bowl effortlessly.
