Very light flavor and low in calories. Originally meant to be a side dish I made some healthy substitutions and added shrimp. I usually serve with asparagus, the entire family loves it.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Whisk yogurt, chicken broth, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and 1 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

Drain and rinse under cold water until pasta is slightly cooled.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Toss shrimp and 2 tablespoons olive oil together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.

Transfer to a glass baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp are bright pink and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.

Toss pasta with dressing in a bowl.

Add shrimp and scallions; season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and more pepper.

Garnish pasta salad with Cheddar cheese and lemon slices.
