Method
 

How to Make High Protein Creamy Beef Pasta
  1. In a large skillet, brown the lean ground beef over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  2. Add the diced tomatoes and broth to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. While the sauce simmers, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain it and set aside.
  4. Reduce the skillet’s heat to low. Gradually mix in the Greek yogurt and Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until creamy.
  5. Fold in the drained pasta, ensuring every strand is coated with the sauce. Toss gently to incorporate.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs if desired.
