Ingredients
- 8 ounces whole wheat penne
- 2 cups Roccos How Low Can You Go Low-Fat Marinara Sauce or store-bought low-fat marinara sauce
- Pinch of crushed red pepper
- One 7-ounce container 2% Greek yogurt
- 1 cup chopped fresh basil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Method
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions, about 9 minutes; drain.
- While the pasta is cooking, bring the marinara sauce and crushed red pepper to a simmer in a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat.
- Cook the sauce, stirring it occasionally with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, until it is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the saute pan from the heat.
- Stir about 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce into the yogurt until smooth (this tempers it and prevents the yogurt from curdling).
- Then whisk the yogurt mixture back into the marinara sauce.
- In a large serving bowl, toss the sauce with the drained penne and the basil.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top, and serve.
