Thick Spaghetti with Butter Sauce

You may think spaghetti and yogurt are quite an unlikely pair...but your taste buds will be saying the opposite. Give this creamy, buttery pasta dish a try and your family will be asking for it again in no time.


Thick Spaghetti with Butter Sauce

Ingredients

For 4 people

  • 1 (1 lb) dried thick spaghetti
  • 3/4 stick unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup(s) minced fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup(s) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup(s) Plain yogurt, room temperature

Directions

In a kettle of boiling salted water boil the spaghetti until it is “al dente”, reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, and drain the linguine well. While the linguine is cooking, in a heavy skillet cook the butter over medium heat, swirling the skillet occasionally, until it is nut-brown in color. In a large bowl whisk together the butter, parsley, Parmesan, and oregano until the mixture is combined well. Whisk in the yogurt and salt and pepper to taste. Add the spaghetti, toss the mixture well, and add enough of the reserved cooking water to thin the sauce to the desired consistency.
