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.

Isn’t it strange how an imperfection to one person can be progress to another? ⠀
⠀
I had no clue I had stretch marks on my glutes until I saw this picture. Oddly enough, when I saw them, I was so proud of them. I have worked my butt off to grow my glutes. I do two glute focused workouts a week, I stay on top of nutrition, I eat at maintenance for a majority of the year and I train hard implementing progressive overload. So, when I see these stretch marks, I see progress, nothing but hard work and determination to get stronger, not smaller. ⠀
⠀
Perspective is strange isnt it? Imagine if you saw the good in your “flaws”. Imagine if you saw the progress instead of focusing on the bad? Imagine if you learned to love all faucets of you, including the ones that don’t just focus on appearance. ⠀
⠀
Perspective.

Pasta Primavera⠀
⠀
Looking for more meal prep ideas with tons of veggies? I’ve got you covered with these easy pasta primavera! As a reminder, I encourage all TT members to be tracking their fiber along with macros! Fiber should be no less than 25g a day from whole foods for women and 35g a day for men!⠀
⠀
Ingredients⠀
224 g dry weight, rotini⠀
256 g gold cherry tomatoes⠀
100 g snap peas⠀
100 g red onion, cubed⠀
4 clove, garlic, minced⠀
16 oz chicken breast⠀
75 g broccoli florets, raw ⠀
100 g red bell pepper, sliced⠀
Fresh basil ⠀
Salt and pepper⠀
⠀
1/3 cup your choice of dressing ⠀
I used Ken’s Lite Caesar vinaigrette, but am not including the macros so you can add your own or make your own and log with the recipe! I love doing lemons with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper but my boyfriend has an unhealthy obsession with caesar (IYKYK). ⠀
⠀
Instructions⠀
Start by coating your chicken in salt, pepper and 2 cloves of the minced garlic. ⠀
⠀
Spray a grill pan with olive oil cooking spray and cook chicken throughly on each side. ⠀
⠀
Allow to rest and then slice. ⠀
⠀
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add your pasta. Allow to cook for about 8 minutes or until al dente. Drain. ⠀
⠀
In a large sauté pan, add some spay olive oil and the onions and the remaining garlic. Allow to cook for 2 minutes. ⠀
⠀
Add the peppers, peas and broccoli. Allow to cook for 4 minutes. ⠀
⠀
Add your sliced chicken and drained pasta. Stir.⠀
⠀
Add tomatoes and remove from heat. ⠀
⠀
This is when you would add your choice of dressing and stir. ⠀
⠀
Finish with fresh basil and salt and pepper to taste!⠀
