Ingredients

12 ounces whole-wheat penne

2 1/2 cups low-fat, sugar-free marinara

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 onion, chopped

1 clove of garlic minced

1 tbsp of water

1 tbsp of white vermouth

1 (7.1-ounce) container 2 percent fat Greek-style yogurt

1 cup chopped fresh basil

Salt and ground black pepper

6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add the pasta and cook according to package directions, about 9 minutes.

In a large, nonstick saute pan over medium, combine the marinara and red pepper flakes and bring to a simmer.

Sweat the onion and garlic in the microwave in the liquid for 2 minutes on 30 percent power.

Add to marinara and pepper flakes.

Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until it is reduced and slightly thickened.

Remove the marinara from the heat. In a small bowl, stir about 1/2 cup of the marinara into the Greek yogurt until it is smooth to temper it, then whisk the yogurt mixture back into the marinara in the saute pan.

Drain the pasta and add it to the pan, tossing to coat. Add the basil and season with salt and pepper, if necessary. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
