No Cream No Cry Penne Alla Vodka

• 8 ounces whole wheat penne
• 2 cups low-fat marinara sauce
• Pinch crushed red pepper
• 1 7-ounce container 2 percent Greek yogurt
• 1 cup chopped fresh basil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 6 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

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