Greek Pasta Dish with Greek Yogurt?

[dpappas87]

I saw a recipe in a Greek cookbook once for a pasta dish that used Greek yogurt. It looked delicious and easy and I have wanted to try it.

The problem is, I don't remember the cookbook's name and it wasn't my cookbook. I can't remember the name of the book! I also can't remember the name of the dish.

Does anyone know what I am referring to? The dish had the look of an "Alfredo" type of thing.

Is it something like this? This is a creamy pasta dish that uses Greek yogurt:

- 8 ounces of pasta
- 1 cup of Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow squash, chopped
- 1 tablespoon of dried basil
- Salt and black pepper to taste

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, bell pepper, and yellow squash. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Next, turn the heat down to low and add the Greek yogurt, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together until the Greek yogurt is heated through. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is coated in the yogurt sauce.

Yes, this is very similar to how I make this dish. It makes for an easy meal! I like to add some grilled chicken to it on days when I want more protein with my meal.
