- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons of minced garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant and golden.
- Stir in 8 ounces of whole wheat elbow macaroni along with 3 cups of low-sodium vegetable broth and 1 cup of low-fat milk. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and let the pasta simmer for 7–8 minutes, stir frequently to prevent sticking.

- Fold in 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
- Let the dish sit for about 2–3 minutes uncovered to thicken.
- Serve warm in bowls, garnish with fresh herbs or additional cheese if you like.
