How to make Rocco DiSpirito's Penne alla Vodka

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

8 ounces whole-wheat penne
2 cups low-fat marinara sauce
Pinch crushed red pepper
1 (7-oz) container 2% Greek yogurt
1 cup chopped fresh basil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 Tbsp grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions, about 9 minutes; drain.
While the pasta is cooking, bring the marinara sauce and crushed red pepper to a simmer in a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Cook the sauce, stirring it occasionally with a heat- resistant rubber spatula, until it is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove the saute pan from the heat.
Stir about 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce into the yogurt until smooth (this tempers it and prevents the yogurt from curdling). Then whisk the yogurt mixture back into the marinara sauce.
In a large serving bowl, toss the sauce with the drained penne and the basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle the cheese on top, and serve.
