Spinach and Mushroom with Yogurt Alfredo

Last week I went to the store and bought a giant tub of Greek yogurt. I figured it's a healthy breakfast item and I am trying to eat more healthy. However, the tub advertised that it's "great for cooking" so I decided to try and make an Alfredo sauce with it. Note to self: next time make sure you buy plain Greek yogurt instead of vanilla flavored. It turned out sweeter than expected, but definitely edible. This is the result.

The smell of mushrooms, onions, and spinach cooking together  made me really hungry.

Looks like regular alfredo to me
Finished product in the pan.


Ingredients
  • 1/8 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 4 oz baby bella/cremini mushroom thinly sliced
  • fresh spinach (as much or as little as you like)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp shredded parmesean cheese
  • 3 tbsp fat free Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
Procedure

  1. Cook the onion in a large non stick pan with the olive oil.
  2. Add the mushrooms to the pan when the onion has begin to turn clear/see through. Cook until mushrooms have started to shrink and loose some water. Stir occasionally.
  3. Wilt the spinach in the pan. Add the garlic powder, basil, oregano, salt and pepper to the pan. Mix /stir occasionally.
  4. Add the cheese and yogurt when the spinach has completely wilted. Mix well
  5. Serve mixed with pasta or over pasta.
