Time 25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (12 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
2 (6 ounce) containers lemon yogurt
⅓ cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 bunch green onions, chopped
3 cups seedless red grapes
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 minutes or until al dente; drain but no need to cool. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the lemon yogurt, mayonnaise, mint, green onion, grapes, salt and pepper. Stir to coat the pasta evenly and distribute the grapes. This can be served warm or cold, but I prefer it cold during the summer because it makes such a refreshing treat.

LEMON MINT PASTA

I got this out of a recent Martha Stewart Magazine. I made it and served it with green peas on the side. My kids loved this. It was also really fast and easy. Great weeknight summer pasta dish. The original recipe called for fettuccine, but I made it with angel hair instead because that's what I had on hand. The recipe also stated that you could substitiue fresh basil for the mint, but the mint was great.
