Food Pasta With Garlicky Yogurt Sauce And Roasted Cherry Tomatoes 3.0 (1) 1 Review This is a quick and simple pasta recipe that’s light and refreshing. Greek yogurt adds protein and makes a creamy sauce when mixed with the pasta cooking water. Make sure to really salt the pasta cooking water to start building delicious flavor from the get-go. Roasted tomatoes add a burst of flavor in each bite as they melt into the sauce. Oregano leaves adds freshness, but parsley would make a great substitute if you have it on hand. Swap regular pasta for a whole-grain option such as kamut, farro, or whole wheat. Or opt to make it gluten-free with brown rice, chickpea, or lentil pasta.
