Whipped Feta Pasta

Published: April 19, 2022 · Courtney Rushing

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Did I have you at whipped feta? Because, same.

As I mentioned in recent posts, my new found love of pasta has opened a new world of possibilities to me…

Spaghetti and Meatballs

Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo

Bucatini all’Amatriciana

Chicken Carbonara

Penne Alla Vodka

Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe

Baked Penne Alla Vodka with Turkey

Baked Spaghetti

….

I could go on and on, but let me tell you about this one. Super quick, easy, and so delicious! Sun-dried tomatoes are cooked in oil with garlic and shallots then tossed with penne pasta and fresh herbs. I added ground turkey to this to up the protein. When the pasta is tossed with the creamy whipped feta cheese it melts into the most delicious sauce.

Calories 385 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz penne raw weight
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 100 grams shallot diced
  • 1 lb 93/7 ground turkey raw weight
  • 3 oz sun-dried tomatoes julienne cut (not in oil)
  • 12 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 8 oz fat free feta cheese
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • handful of fresh basil
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook penne until al dente. Remove and strain.
  • In a food processor, add your feta cheese and whip until light and fluffy. Add in a good pinch of salt and pepper along with the juice of a lemon.
  • Place a pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. To the oil, add in the shallots and garlic, then toss in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook the tomatoes in the oil until they begin crisping and almost become fried. This will really help to intensify the flavors in the sauce.
  • Add in the ground turkey and cook throughly. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Add in the crushed tomatoes and the cooked pasta and then dollop the whipped feta mixture into the pasta.
  • Top with fresh basil.

Deload week. What is it? Why do we need it? What do we do with our caloric intake? 

Swipe to learn!

Believe me, if you’re doing #tightertogether , this week is crucial to aid with weeks 4 and 5! If your carb cycling, keep carb cycling. If you’re at maintenance, stay at maintenance. If you’re building your plate, keep building that plate! Your body deserves food with or without training. 

This week comes at a perfect time for me as I am heading to the beach for a wedding. I plan to take it easy and provide my body a lot of rest!

Tell me one thing you’re going to do this week to aid with muscle recovery?!

Today’s tips include monitoring your sodium, limiting consumption of processed meats, adding in more fruits, whole grains, and veggies, and making simple swaps to provide more fiber and protein to aid with overall satiety.
