Ingredients:
- 8 ounces of fettuccine pasta or your preferred pasta variety
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 cup of plain whole milk Greek yogurt, at room temperature
- 2/3 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, plus extra for pasta water
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup of roughly chopped parsley
- Optional: 1/8 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
Instructions:
- Begin by bringing a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until it reaches al dente texture, typically about 12-14 minutes. Remember to reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta. Set the pasta aside.
- In the same pot, now empty, place it back on the stove. Melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about a minute until it turns translucent. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent the garlic from browning.
- While maintaining low heat, whisk in the Greek yogurt and Parmesan cheese. Continuously stir for a minute or two until the yogurt is heated through and the cheese is fully melted. Gradually add the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, to achieve the desired consistency and smoothness of the sauce.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Add the drained pasta to the pot and gently toss until all the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
- Transfer the pasta to a serving bowl. Top it with chopped parsley, extra Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.
- This recipe yields approximately 2 cups of pasta sauce, which is sufficient for serving 4 adults when mixed with cooked pasta.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- When reheating, gently warm the sauce in a large skillet or pan on the stovetop over low heat, stirring frequently. If the sauce thickens in the fridge, add a splash of water or vegetable broth to restore its smooth consistency.
- It's crucial to use full-fat Greek yogurt for its thick consistency and to prevent curdling when warmed on low heat. Avoid substituting with regular yogurt.
