Greek Yogurt Alfredo Pasta With Garlic

Ingredients

• 180 grams (6 1/2 ounce) Tagliatelle pasta
• 200 grams (3/4 cup + 1 tbsp) Greek yogurt (at room temperature)
• 40 grams (1/2 cup) grated cheese such as Gruyere or Kefalotyri cheese (at room temperature)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 14 grams (2 1/2 teaspoons) minced garlic (minced)
• 15 grams (1 tablespoon) butter
• salt
• freshly ground pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook pasta according to its package instructions. Before draining save ½ cup of the water you boiled the pasta in.

2. 2

   In a saute pan heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until lightly golden. Don't let it burn or brown.

3. 3

   Add the pasta water, drop the heat to medium and cook for 1 minute. Then add the butter and stir until it melts.

4. 4

   Remove the pan from the heat and add the Greek yogurt, salt, pepper, and grated cheese. Stir until fully combined and the cheese is melted. If the cheese hasn't melted completely place the pan back on the heat. On the lowest heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. It will only take a minute or two more. Don't overcook or the yogurt may curdle.
