From your shelf
- 1 cup [227 grams] Chobani fino lemon low-fat Greek yogurt
Staples
- 6 ounces [170 grams] pasta
- 2 cloves garlic
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add 6 ounces pasta; cook until just tender, stirring once halfway through.
- While the pasta cooks, mince 2 garlic cloves and warm 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large shallow pan over medium heat; add the garlic and cook until fragrant but not brown, about 30 seconds.
- Scoop 1 cup of the hot pasta cooking water into a bowl, then drain the pasta into a colander.
- Off the heat, stir 1 cup Chobani fino lemon yogurt into the garlic oil until combined; if the sauce seems thick, stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water.
- Add the drained pasta to the yogurt sauce and toss gently to coat, adding more pasta water if needed to reach a creamy consistency; taste and adjust salt and pepper.
Note Swap the Chobani for any plain Greek yogurt and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice instead. Leftovers keep for two days in the fridge and reheat gently with a splash of water. Serve with a green salad and grated cheese if you like, or a crisp white wine.
