Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (16 ounce) package pasta
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups plain yogurt
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons pine nuts
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
  • Using a mortar and pestle, mash the salt and garlic cloves together into a paste. Warm the yogurt slightly in a sauce pan. Remove a small amount of warmed yogurt from the pan, and stir together with the garlic paste. Stir this mixture into the remaining yogurt
  • Drain the pasta, and rinse in cold water. Place in a casserole or deep serving dish, toss with 1 tablespoon butter or margarine. Toss with half of the garlic-yogurt sauce. Spread the remaining sauce over the pasta. Garnish with the parsley.
  • For a very special dish, brown the pine nuts in 2 tablespoons butter or margarine. Pour over the parsley. Serve immediately.
